Eric Newton commented on ACCUMULO-118:
--------------------------------------

Right now I'm using "instance.namespaces" for the file system roots to use. It 
was noticed recently that the term "namespace" conflicts with the concept of 
"table namespaces".  Anyone have a better term for these file system roots to 
use?

 * instance.dfs.uris
 * instance.dfs.dirs
 * instance.dfs.roots
 * instance.dfs.filesystems


                
> accumulo could work across HDFS instances, which would help it to scale past 
> a single namenode

> Consider using full path names to files, which would allow the servers to 
> access the files on any HDFS file system.
> Work may exist elsewhere to run HDFS using a number of NameNode instances to 
> break up the namespace.
> We may need a pluggable strategy to determine namespace for new files.
