Ming Ma commented on HDFS-8647:
-------------------------------
I agree we don't want to push HDFS-8823 to branch-2.6/2.7. A special patch for
2.7 should be relatively straightforward; it just need to get block replication
factor in the old way. A special patch for 2.6 might require more changes as it
StorageType has been moved from hadoop-hdfs to hadoop-common by HDFS-7806.
> Abstract BlockManager's rack policy into BlockPlacementPolicy

> 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.
