Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-993:
-------------------------------------


Mainly simplicity. I think this is one of the many features in Namenode that 
are useful but not strictly namenode functionality. Namenode is a major 
hotspot. May be we could have helper application that provides such features.

Currently namenode will list dead nodes. But is is not persistent across 
restarts.



> Namenode does not need to store any data node info persistently.

> Namenode does not need to serialize datanode info. It will map datanode to
