The main problem is the complexity of maintaining accuracy of the metadata. In other words, what you think is the cost?
Do you think writing fsimage to multiple places helps with the terrorist attack? It is supported even now.

Thanks for paying attention to my tentative idea! What I thought isn't how to store the meradata, but the final (or last) way to recover valuable data in the cluster when something worst (which destroy the metadata in all multiple NameNode) happen. i.e. terrorist attack or natural disasters destroy half of cluster nodes within all NameNode, we can recover as much data as possible by this mechanism, and hava big chance to recover entire data of cluster because fo original replication. Any suggestion is appreciate!
