Image I used Hadoop as a fault-tolerance storage. I had 10 nodes,

How do I redistribute the existing data? I don't want to bump up
the replication factor since
the old nodes were already overloaded. It'd be very helpful if
this function could be implemented
at the system level.
A HDFS block rebalancer is being written for HADOOP-1652. It is not
expected to make 0.15 (next week), but should come soon after than.
