Wang Xu commented on HDFS-1362:
-------------------------------
Hi folks,
I am working on a new version of this patch, and I want to add a method to
FSDataset for verify whether a dir is in-service.
Do you think I could add the method to FSDatasetInterface, or just in
FSDataset?
Does the Interface mean that only FSDataset is an implementation based on dirs
and other implementation may based on other storage subsystem, thus I should
limit my modification only in the scope of FSDataset?

> Key: HDFS-1362
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1362
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: data-node
> Reporter: Wang Xu
> Assignee: Wang Xu
> Attachments: HDFS-1362.txt, Provide_volume_management_for_DN_v1.pdf

>
> The current management unit in Hadoop is a node, i.e. if a node failed, it
> will be kicked out and all the data on the node will be replicated.
> As almost all SATA controller support hotplug, we add a new command line
> interface to datanode, thus it can list, add or remove a volume online, which
> means we can change a disk without node decommission. Moreover, if the failed
> disk still readable and the node has enouth space, it can migrate data on the
> disks to other disks in the same node.
> A more detailed design document will be attached.
> The original version in our lab is implemented against 0.20 datanode
> directly, and is it better to implemented it in contrib? Or any other
> suggestion?
