Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-1052: --------------------------------------- > For this lookup/searching of metadata, can we use Distributed Hashing? please > let me know some thing regarding it. Client goes directly to the namespace of interest. In order to ease this, HADOOP-7257 add client side mount tables. This eliminates the need to lookup/search on group of namenodes and facilitates client going to directly to a namespace. > HDFS scalability with multiple namenodes > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1052 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1052 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: name-node > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Suresh Srinivas > Assignee: Suresh Srinivas > Fix For: 0.23.0 > > Attachments: Block pool proposal.pdf, HDFS-1052.3.patch, > HDFS-1052.4.patch, HDFS-1052.5.patch, HDFS-1052.6.patch, HDFS-1052.patch, > Mulitple Namespaces5.pdf, high-level-design.pdf > > > HDFS currently uses a single namenode that limits scalability of the cluster. > This jira proposes an architecture to scale the nameservice horizontally > using multiple namenodes. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
