Zhe Zhang updated HDFS-8255:
----------------------------
Description:
We should rename {{BlockCollection#getBlockReplication}} to
{{getPreferredBlockStorageNum}} for 2 reasons:
# Currently, this method actually returns the _preferred_ block replication
factor instead of the _actual_ number of replicas. The current name is a little
ambiguous. {{getPreferredBlockStorageNum}} is also consistent with
{{getPreferredBlockSize}}
# With the erasure coding feature, the name doesn't apply to striped blocks.
