> In current implementation when the name node starts, it reads its image file, then
> the edits file, and then saves the updated image back into the image file.
> The image file is never updated after that.
> In order to provide the system reliability reliability the namespace information should
> be check pointed periodically, and the edits file should be kept relatively small.
