The total capacity of dfs. This is a sum of all datanode's capacities, > each of which is calculated by datanode summing all data directories disk > space. > 2. The total remaining space of dfs. This is a sum of all datanodes's > remaining space. Each datanode's remaining space is calculated by using the > following formula: remaining space = unused space - > capacity*unusableDiskPercentage - reserved space. So the remaining space > shows how much space that the dfs can still use, but it does not show the > size of unused space. > Each dfs client caculates the total dfs used space by substracting remaining > space from the total capacity. So the used space does not accurately shows > the space that dfs is using. However it is a very important number that dfs > should provide. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
