dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-2447:
------------------------------------------
My proposal is to have dfs.max.objects as a parameter in the configuration. It
is a hard limit on the number of files + + directories + blocks that dfs
namenode can support. If the namenode exceeds this limit, then creations of
files/directories and allocations of new blocks will fail.
> HDFS should be capable of limiting the total number of inodes in the system

> hadoop-site.xml. The default should be no limit.
