             Summary: Multi master name node
                 Key: HDFS-12957
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-12957
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: namenode
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
         Environment: Multi node high availability with high throughput
            Reporter: Andrew Schiefelbein


While I do appreciate that the HA and federated setups do take care of some of 
the issues running in a multi node distributed fault tolerant way I believe 
that a singe name node is a bit of a pain point for me.

My wish, and your mileage may vary, is that here could be a name node on each 
data node system so that each system could act as a gateway and worker for the 
cluster.

In my tests right now I can push nearly 2 million records / second through a 
single node instance, but when I bring up 4 more nodes it doesn't go 4x faster 
as it has to retrieve from the name node and go through it as a gateway to the 
cluster.  For speed and resiliency if this could be spread out among n number 
of nodes and put behind a load balancer it would be the ideal solution for 
distributed resilient and high throughput shared storage.
