List out some limitation of Hadoop.


  • Write-once model
    • Plan to support appending-writes
  • A namespace with an extremely large number of files exceeds Namenode’s capacity to maintain
  • Cannot be mounted by exisiting OS
    • Getting data in and out is tedious
    • Virtual File System can solve problem
  • Java API
  • Thrift API is available to use other languages
  • HDFS does not implement / support
    • User quotas
    • Access permissions
    • Hard or soft links
    • Data balancing schemes
  • No periodic checkpoints
  • Namenode is single point of failure
    • Automatic restart and failover to another machine not yet supported
