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: name-node
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.
