dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-2447: ------------------------------------------ It is a very good idea to print these statistics in the webui. I will go ahead and do that. Also, it might be a good idea to add this to the "dfsadmin -report" command too. At this time, I do not plan on adding a command line utility to change this dfs.max.objects on a running namenode. If an administrator wants to change this config parameter, the namenode has to be restarted. This is true for most other existing-namenode-parameters and I do not want to introduce a special command just to change this dfs.max.objects parameter. > HDFS should be capable of limiting the total number of inodes in the system > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2447 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2447 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Sameer Paranjpye > Assignee: dhruba borthakur > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > Attachments: fileLimit.patch > > > The HDFS Namenode should be capable of limiting the total number of Inodes > (files + directories).
