Kai Zheng commented on HDFS-7717:
---------------------------------

Thanks [~kaisasak] for the taking.

Do you have some thoughts ? Can you share them first for further discussion ? I 
know HSM storage policy is checked and enforced by tool Mover, is the way 
applicable to EC ? How the tool gets all the necessary information like EC 
schema and policy to figure out the tasks and schedule them accordingly ?

Not sure MR tool is a good option, since it relies on YARN/MR service.

> We need a tool to do offline conversion between replication and erasure 
> coding. The tool itself can either utilize MR just like the current distcp, 
> or act like the balancer/mover.
