Robert Chansler commented on HADOOP-2447:
-----------------------------------------
Version 0.16 will implement a simple threshold test. Creations will fail if the
number of name space items will exceed the threshold. The error message will
identify failure as a violation of the threshold policy.
In the future, there is opportunity for a more adaptable policy that better
serves to protect the name node from resource exhaustion.
