> mv the namenode NameSpace and BlocksMap to hbase to save the namenode memory

>                 Key: HDFS-1499

>             Project: Hadoop HDFS

> The NameNode stores all its metadata in the main memory of the machine on 
> which it is deployed. With the file-count and block number growing, namenode 
> machine can't hold anymore files and blocks in its memory and thus restrict 
> the HDFS cluster growth. So many people are talking and thinking abont this 
> problem. Google's next version of GFS use bigtable to store the metadata of 
> the DFS and that seem works. What if we use hbase as the same?
> In the namenode structure, the namespace of the filesystem and the map of 
> block -> datanodes, datanode->blocks which keeped in memory are consume most 
> of the namenode's heap, what if we store those data structure in hbase to 
> decrease the namenode's memory?
