zhouyingchao updated HDFS-11573:
--------------------------------
    Attachment: HDFS-11573-2.6.5-001.patch

Since we implemented the feature on a 2.6 branch, it is easy to merge the code 
with 2.6 branch. I upload the patch against 2.6.5 branch first. If necessary, I 
can merge the code with the 3.0 branch in future.

> Support rename between different NameNodes in federated HDFS

>        Federated file system can improve overall scalability by dividing a 
> single namespace into multiple sub-namespaces. Since the divided 
> sub-namespace are held by different namenodes, rename operation between those 
> sub-namespace is forbidden. Due to this restriction, many applications have 
> to be rewritten to work around the issue after migrated to federated file 
> system. Supporting rename between different namenodes would make it much 
> easier to migrate to federated file systems. 
>        We have finished a preliminary implementation of this feature in a 2.6 
> branch.  I'll upload a write-up regarding the design in a few days. And then 
> I'll re-org the code against the trunk and upload the patch.
