> 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?
