This document discusses ongoing work to improve HDFS multi-tenancy support and resource management. It describes how HDFS currently supports resource sharing, isolation, and management. Improvements include fair call queueing for NameNode RPCs, throttling techniques to avoid queue overload, and a proposed resource coupon system for reserving NameNode and DataNode resources. The goal is to provide better quality of service and allow prioritization of important jobs over batch workloads.
