Subject: Any related paper on how to resolve hadoop SPOF issue?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Hi guys,

We are currently in the process of writing a paper regarding hadoop and 
we would like to reference any attempt to remove the single point of 
failure of the Namenode. We have found in various presentations some 
efforts (like dividing the namespace between more than one namenodes if 
i remember correctly) but the search for a concrete paper on the issue 
came to nothing.

Is anyone aware or has participated in such an effort?

Thanks,
George
