Thanks for taking the time at HUG. (I've since figured out that I lost
your messages as part of my email list transition.)

But this does make things easier. Although I'm still fairly confident
that it adds too much complexity for little gain though. So put this in the
'agree to disagree' column. It would still be nice if you guys could lay off
the camelCase options though. Admins hate the shift key.
BTW, Robert C. asked what I thought you guys should have been working
on instead of Federation. I told him (and you) high availability of the
namenode (which I still believe is necessary for HDFS in more and more cases),
but I've had more time to think about it. So expect my list (which I'll post
here) soon. :p
