What is the biggest problem of extremely large hadoop cluster ?

2010-02-21 Thread Jeff Zhang
Hi ,

I am curious to know what is the biggest problem of extremely large hadoop
cluster. What I can imagine now is the memory cost of meta data of hdfs in
name node. One solution I can think about now is to use other storage
implementation such as database to store the metadata, although it has
performance cost. Is there any other solutions or any problems of extremely
large hadoop cluster ?

[jira] Created: (HDFS-994) Provide methods for obtaining delegation token from Namenode for hftp and other uses

Provide methods for obtaining delegation token from Namenode for hftp and other 
uses


 Key: HDFS-994
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-994
 Project: Hadoop HDFS
  Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Jakob Homan
Assignee: Jakob Homan


In hftp, destination clusters will require an RPC-version-agnostic means of 
obtaining delegation tokens from the source cluster. The easiest method is 
provide a webservice to retrieve a token over http.  This can be encrypted via 
SSL (backed by Kerberos, done in another JIRA), providing security for 
cross-cluster hftp operations.

HADOOP-6585 is going to deprecate FileStatus#isDir(). This jira is for 
replacing all uses of isDir() in HDFS with checks of isDirectory(), isFile(), 
or isSymlink() as needed.
