Dave Marion commented on ACCUMULO-118:
--------------------------------------

Just thinking...

 Configure Accumulo with one default namespace (ns1) for the system. Tables created with no namespace specified will go into ns1. Tables created with namespaces defined (ns2, ns3, etc) will use some default file creation load balancer (round-robin). Allow tables to use user-defined file creation load balancers. This might lead to defining back-up namespaces (ns4, ns5) later (Just a thought).

 Will need to provide a utility for moving files between namespaces so that the !METADATA table is updated correctly.

> 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.
