In Cloudera Manager, there is an "RPC Queue and Processing Time" chart for 
NameNode. I've replaced the NN jar in our test cluster with my own jar 
containing the updates in this patch and verified that the processing time 
didn't increase.

If you check this patch, you will see that there is a TestNameCache.java file 
there, containing several tests. Plus, again, I've verified that the patch 
works in a live cluster.

Yes, I compared the live heap size (as measured by analyzing heap dumps), 
obtained from NN running in a live cluster, before and after applying my patch. 
"Before" means that NN used the old NameCache, and "after" means that it used 
my new NameCache.
