shifeng commented on HADOOP-692:
--------------------------------
I have a questions:
Setting cluster topology map has to match physical network topology，dosen't it?
I want to build the four level of physical network
topology(/CoreDC/DC/rack/host)or more level. Does Rack aware has support ?
Is this question resolved?
> Rack-aware Replica Placement
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-692
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-692
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.10.1
> Reporter: Hairong Kuang
> Assignee: Hairong Kuang
> Fix For: 0.11.0
>
> Attachments: Rack_aware_HDFS_proposal.pdf, rack.patch

>
> This issue assumes that HDFS runs on a cluster of computers that spread
> across many racks. Communication between two nodes on different racks needs
> to go through switches. Bandwidth in/out of a rack may be less than the total
> bandwidth of machines in the rack. The purpose of rack-aware replica
> placement is to improve data reliability, availability, and network bandwidth
> utilization. The basic idea is that each data node determines to which rack
> it belongs at the startup time and notifies the name node of the rack id upon
> registration. The name node maintains a rackid-to-datanode map and tries to
> place replicas across racks.
