Is FSNamesystem.fsNamesystemObject unique?
------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-2413
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2413
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.15.1
            Reporter: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE
            Priority: Minor


FSNamesystem is unique in almost all cases but it is not be universally true.  
So we should either remove the static variable FSNamesystem.fsNamesystemObject 
or make it final (so that it cannot be overwritten).

When I working on HADOOP-1298, I use the convenient static method 
FSNamesystem.getFSNamesystem() to get "the" FSNamesystem object.  However, it 
keeps failing TestCheckpoint.  Why?  It is because TestCheckpoint use NameNode 
and SecondaryNameNode.  Both of them are creating FSNamesystem.  So 
FSNamesystem.fsNamesystemObject is not unique.
