I'm looking for a way to implement quotas in case someone decides to upload the world on my cluster and break it Currently there is no way to do that. Due to the distributed nature of the system, it's not an easy task. There's no single place that holds the total size that a single client consume, and adding such a counter would be a contention point and would have real performance impact. I think the solution would be in relaxing the real-time quota requirements. That is, there will be a system in place that will periodically check and see how much data every user consumes, and if a user passes a certain threshold a flag will be set on its account. Then when that user will try to write some more data it'll be denied. When that user remove some data, its status will be rechecked in order to be able to clear that flag when needed. In any case, the periodic check will also need to check flagged users, in order to take care of racy removals. If anyone wants to tackle this issue I'd be happy to assist.
