Wang Xu commented on HDFS-1362:
-------------------------------
Hi folks,
Do you think it should continue use the startup option when add new disk? or we
should only simply load or format it.
Moreover, is it a common case for you to load blocks from a new disk, or may I
format all new inserted disks.

> 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?
