> Rack-aware Replica Placement

> Key: HADOOP-692
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-692
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Improvement

>
> 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.
