dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-1486:
------------------------------------------
I think it might be dangerous to make NameNode.main() create a new NameNode
object if the original one dies. The original instance of the Namenode would
have used up lots of old-memory. If we create a new instance of the NameNode
within the same JVM, then the GC process might take a while before the memory
situation stabilizes. Is it ok if I exit the namenode-jvm completely and leave
it to the administrator to restart the namenode if necessary?
