[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-118) accumulo could work across HDFS instances, which would help it to scale past a single namenode

John Vines commented on ACCUMULO-118:
-------------------------------------

This suite of tickets is really starting to concern me. These really seem to be the long poll in the tent for the 1.6 release and I'm starting to question how badly they're holding back the release. We have a mix of standing improvements that are encompassed with this feature with tickets for bugs found and bugs that are theoretically possible.

I would like to start the conversation about marking this item and items around it as @Experimental and minimizing impact from the work done so far on single node instances.

> Consider using full path names to files, which would allow the servers to access the files on any HDFS file system.
> Work may exist elsewhere to run HDFS using a number of NameNode instances to break up the namespace.
> We may need a pluggable strategy to determine namespace for new files.
