Hi,
I had sent out an email yesterday asking about how to balance the cluster after setting the replication level to 2. I have 4 datanodes and one namenode in my setup. Using the -R switch with -setrep did the trick but one of my nodes became under utilized. I then ran hadoop balancer and it did help but upto a certain extent.

Datanode 4 noted below is now up to almost 5% but when i try to balance the datanode again using the "hadoop balance" command it says that the cluster is already balanced which isnt. I wonder if there is an alternate way(s) or maybe overtime Datanode-4 will pick up more blocks?

Any clues?

Thanks,
Usman
