Andrew Wang commented on HDFS-2006:
-----------------------------------
I think any committer can make a branch, so I went ahead and did it:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/common/branches/HDFS-2006/
Let's commit and review subtasks there, this will hopefully be a quick
development and merge cycle :)
> ability to support storing extended attributes per file
> -------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HDFS-2006
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2006
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: namenode
> Reporter: dhruba borthakur

>
> It would be nice if HDFS provides a feature to store extended attributes for
> files, similar to the one described here:
> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_attributes.
> The challenge is that it has to be done in such a way that a site not using
> this feature does not waste precious memory resources in the namenode.
