Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-12975:
-----------------------------------------------

Good idea.

Can we make the jitter percentage configurable?  What motivates choosing 50% of 
the full refresh period as the jitter default?  For people with really long DU 
periods, this could extend that refresh time by quite a bit.  Perhaps jitter 
should be specified as a maximum number of seconds uniformly randomly added, 
rather than a percentage of the full refresh period?

I think this can get in separately from HADOOP-12973.

> Running DU across lots of disks is very expensive and running all of the 
> processes at the same time creates a noticeable IO spike. We should add some 
> jitter.
