Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HDFS-3000:
----------------------------------------------
I agree with Eli that it is better to add an Admin API then adding them to
FileSystem. The namespace quota is quite specific to HDFS.
> I don't think it's necessarily an "administrative command" per se. At least,
> I don't see why there's a meaningful distinction between setting quotas and,
> say, chown.
Setting quota is pure admin method but users could use chown for changing
groups although they cannot change owner.
> Add a public API for setting quotas
