Yoram Arnon commented on HADOOP-993:
------------------------------------

ah, but persistency across restarts is key. that's when errors happen most 
often.
Currently the information seems persistent. In our DFS I see nodes that 
connected once only, many restarts ago.
Perhaps removing the functionality from the namenode can be postponed until 
equivalent functionality is introduced in helper applications.

> Namenode does not need to store any data node info persistently.

> Namenode does not need to serialize datanode info. It will map datanode to
