Philip Zeyliger commented on HDFS-945:
--------------------------------------
A solution is rate limiting (by client IP or user id or something else). It
ain't fool-proof, but it would probably get the job done.
> Make NameNode resilient to DoS attacks (malicious or otherwise)

> Key: HDFS-945
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-945
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: name-node
> Reporter: Arun C Murthy
>
> We've seen defective applications cause havoc on the NameNode, for e.g. by
> doing 100k+ 'listStatus' on very large directories (60k files) etc.
> I'd like to start a discussion around how we prevent such, and possibly
> malicious applications in the future, taking down the NameNode.
> Thoughts?
