----------------------------------------
I'd really like a terminology reset.
> Support volumes in HDFS
> -----------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-8888
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8888
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Haohui Mai
>
> There are multiple types of zones (e.g., snapshottable directories,
> encryption zones, directories with quotas) which are conceptually close to
> namespace volumes in traditional file systems.
> This jira proposes to introduce the concept of volume to simplify the
> implementation of snapshots and encryption zones.
