Sanjay Radia commented on HDFS-1053:
------------------------------------

A client side mount table allows application centric filesystem view. Such a 
feature is very useful
in an environment that contains multiple namspaces. These can arise today with 
multiple independent HDFS clusters. It can also arise when a HDFS cluster has 
muitiple namenodes/namepsaced as proposed in HDFS-1052.

Several file systems/naming systems have provided this in the past, especially 
in an environment of 
remote execution.
