 Mover - A New Data Migration Tool
 ---------------------------------
 
-A new data migration tool is added for archiving data. The tool is similar to 
Balancer. It periodically scans the files in HDFS to check if the block 
placement satisfies the storage policy. For the blocks violating the storage 
policy, it moves the replicas to a different storage type in order to fulfill 
the storage policy requirement.
+A new data migration tool is added for archiving data. The tool is similar to 
Balancer. It periodically scans the files in HDFS to check if the block 
placement satisfies the storage policy. For the blocks violating the storage 
policy, it moves the replicas to a different storage type in order to fulfill 
the storage policy requirement. Note that it always tries to move block 
replicas within the same node whenever possible. If that is not possible (e.g. 
when a node doesn’t have the target storage type) then it will copy the block 
replicas to another node over the network.
