Isn't one of the main suppositions of Hadoop that you're using commodity 
computing hardware that's not the most reliable, and that it's to be expected 
that nodes may go away without notice?  Why do you need a high-availability 
clustering solution for this?

If you're trying to confront the problem of information exchange (for example, 
configuration or job data), you might consider a distributed hash table.

I think that may be pushing things a bit (in terms of the CIB size).
But I'm quite motivated to improve our scalability... so let me know
if you're interested in pushing the limits
