> In some applications, latency is affected by the cost of making rpc calls to 
> namenode to fetch metadata. the most obvious case are calls to fetch 
> file/directory status. applications like hive like to make optimizations 
> based on file size/number etc. - and for such optimizations - 'recent' status 
> data (as opposed to most up-to-date) is acceptable. in such cases, a cache on 
> the DFS client that transparently caches metadata would be greatly benefit 
> applications.
