> Solution to 2816 changed
> - Total Capacity definition from (the disk space of all data directories) to
> (the disk space of all the data directories - the reserved space)
> - We added a new element Present Capacity to the report. It is set to (Used
> Capacity + Remaining Capacity)
> - We changed the Used Percentage reported from (Used Capacity)/(Total
> Capacity) to (Used Capacity)/(Present Capacity)
> - All these changes are displayed on Namenode Web UI.
> Balancer functionality
> Balancer script is started with a threshold parameter. It tries to move the
> blocks from the nodes that have Used % that is more than (Cluster average +
> threshold) to the nodes that have less than (Cluster average - threshold).
> Essentially balancer gets all the datanodes used % to with in (the Cluster
> average +/- threshold).
> Inconsistencies due to the change in 2816
> When MapReduce jobs are run, temporary files are generated. This eats away a
> lot of space from Present Capacity. The difference between the Total Capacity
> and the Present Capacity can be huge. Currently balancer computes Used
> Percentage based (Used Capacity)/(Total Capacity). The Used % the balancer
> uses could be significantly different from Used % displayed on the Namenode
> Web UI. When balancer is done balancing, the Namenode Used % might still
> appear unbalanced.
