> Sometimes we want to have namenode use alternative block placement policy 
> such as upgrade domains in HDFS-7541.
> BlockManager has built-in assumption about rack policy in functions such as 
> useDelHint, blockHasEnoughRacks. That means when we have new block placement 
> policy, we need to modify BlockManager to account for the new policy. Ideally 
> BlockManager should ask BlockPlacementPolicy object instead. That will allow 
> us to provide new BlockPlacementPolicy without changing BlockManager.
