------------------------------------------
My vote is that creating a empty file does not take any disk-quota. (However,
it does take up a namespace quota).

> Directory quotas for bytes limit the number of bytes used by files in and
> below the directory. Operation is independent of name quotas (HADOOP-3187),
> but the implementation is parallel. Each file is charged according to its
> length multiplied by its intended replication factor.
