+ For scaling the Name service (Namenode), there are two main issues here
     * scaling the name space (i.e. the number of files and directories we can handle
     * scale the performance of the name service - i.e. its throughput and latency and in particular the number of concurrent clients
  Improving one  may improve the other.
     * E.g. moving Block map functionality to slave NNs will free up storage for Name entries
     * E.g. Paritioning name space can also improve performance of each NN slave
