Which areas would you say HDFS needs improvement the most? Just so you know, HDFS is still very actively developed, and keeps introducing features / improving functionality (e.g Native NFS, In-Memory Caching, Short Circuit Reads, High Availability, Namespace Federation, etc) on a pretty regular basis.

Feel free to suggest new features, or contribute to the project yourself.

I know of the JIRA, thanks. I'm aware that it is being actively developed, but I don't necessarily believe that activity is progress. Keeping a few different players in the mix helps keep everyone focused on progress.
