Thats sounds cool. Sounds like something that would be great in the
examples directory. Then we could put some regressions in place to
make sure we don't break it as we uplevel things too.
Might it make more sense to run the datanode as a distinct process
and use the client in your servelet? I'm no expert on web farms,
just curious.

I am not sure of what you are asking, but we are using DFS inside our

cleaner, easier, method then an NFS share.
To make things easier for us (especially operations) we have each of
our servlets act as a datanode. This way each of our servers (web
server), which only uses around 10GB of disk space, can take advantage
of the rather cheap 40-100GB drives that are in them for the purpose
of DFS.
