Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1071:
-----------------------------------

Looks good. My only remaining comment is that we should add an assert in the 
test to make sure it's actually got multiple name directories. I'm pretty sure 
that's the case for MiniDFSCluster, but we should verify that it's actually 
testing something in case someone changes MiniDFS later.

> If you have a large number of files in HDFS, the fsimage file is very big. 
> When the namenode restarts, it writes a copy of the fsimage to all 
> directories configured in fs.name.dir. This takes a long time, especially if 
> there are many directories in fs.name.dir. Make the NN write the fsimage to 
> all these directories in parallel.
