Arpit Agarwal commented on HDFS-8538:
-------------------------------------

bq. This leads me to an potential enhancement: count the # of outstanding 
writes to a low-capacity disk, and exclude it from skewed placement if it's got 
too many outstanding writes. This would be even better if we used OS-level IO 
statistics, but that could be a follow-on.
Hi Andrew, incorporating load information would address my concern about 
hotspots. OS-level stats are better so we account for non-dfs disk load.

> For datanodes with different sized disks, they almost always want the 
> available space policy. Users with homogenous disks are unaffected.
> Since this code has baked for a while, let's change it to be the default.
