---------------------------------------

I am interested in doing (1) from Konstantin's list along with the following 
addition:

1. If the primary NN dies (unscheduled downtime), the adminstrator should be 
able to issue a command to the BN to change its role to be the primary NN.



> The NameNode should forward block reports to BackupNode

> The BackupNode (via HADOOP-4539) receives a stream of transactions from 
> NameNode. However, the BackupNode does not have block locations of blocks. It 
> would be nice if the NameNode can forward all block reports (that it receives 
> from DataNodes) to the BackupNode.
