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. * Plan 9: http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=506413&dl=GUIDE&coll=GUIDE&CFID=82715774&CFTOKEN=20109739 * The Per-Process View of Naming and Remote Execution: http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=613822 * The Spring system: http://www2.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~mint/Library/Spring/spring-namingpolicy.pshttp://www2.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~mint/Library/Spring/spring-namingpolicy.ps > A client side mount table to give per-application/per-job file system view > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1053 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1053 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Sanjay Radia > Assignee: Sanjay Radia > Fix For: 0.22.0 > > > This jira proposes a client side mount table to allow application-centric (or > job-centric) filesystem views. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
