Andrew Purtell commented on HDFS-5477:
--------------------------------------
[~ebortnik] The discussion at Hadoop Summit was very interesting, especially
the part about going forward without RPC under locks. Has there been any
progress on design doc or patches?

> The block manager needs to evolve towards having the ability to run as a
> standalone service to improve NN vertical and horizontal scalability. The
> goal is reducing the memory footprint of the NN proper to support larger
> namespaces, and improve overall performance by decoupling the block manager
> from the namespace and its lock. Ideally, a distinct BM will be transparent
> to clients and DNs.
