There is certainly value in it. But it can not be done with the data datanodes currently have.
The usual way to protect NameNode metadata in Hadoop is to write the metadata to two different locations.

Hi all. We all know the importance of NameNode for a cluster, when the NameNode whith all matadata of the DFS is breaked down, the whole of the clustes'data is gone. So, if we can retrive DFS metadata from datanodes, It should be a additional great robustness for hadoop. Does any one thinking It's valuable for it?
