Bryan Pendleton commented on HADOOP-56:
---------------------------------------

Sorry -  yes, I meant a globally-unique identifier, not a group/user id.

Sticking a GUID+version into the namenode metadata sounds helpful. I don't 
really see a reason to stick the version into the block filename, though. 
Especially if all "upgrade" related commands are going to be issued by the 
namenode.

> hadoop nameserver does not recognise ndfs image
> Thus, upgrading from ndfs to hadoop dfs results in total data loss.
> The upgrade should be seemless, with the new server recognising all previous 
> version that are not end-of-life'd.
