---------------------------------------

Hi Suresh,

For decomissioning, it's always seemed a bit odd that interacting with the 
system requires editing a file local to the namenode as well as sending an RPC. 
 Have you considered adding RPCs (and CLI wrappers for them) for explicitly 
updating data node states, without going through a file?

Thanks,

-- Philip
