Arpit Agarwal commented on HDFS-1312:
-------------------------------------
The checkstyle failures were 'hides a field' and one long method which was not
added by this patch.
I've merged the HDFS-1312 feature branch to trunk. Thanks for the code
contribution [~anu], [~xiaobingo], [~eddyxu] and [~linyiqun]. Thanks to
everyone else who contributed ideas and feedback on this historical jira. :)
Users frequently request this feature and it felt good to commit it.
Anu or I will resolve this Jira shortly and move out the remaining sub-tasks to
a follow-up Jira.

> Filing this issue in response to ``full disk woes`` on hdfs-user.
> Datanodes fill their storage directories unevenly, leading to situations
> where certain disks are full while others are significantly less used. Users
> at many different sites have experienced this issue, and HDFS administrators
> are taking steps like:
> - Manually rebalancing blocks in storage directories
> - Decomissioning nodes & later readding them
> There's a tradeoff between making use of all available spindles, and filling
> disks at the sameish rate. Possible solutions include:
> - Weighting less-used disks heavier when placing new blocks on the datanode.
> In write-heavy environments this will still make use of all spindles,
> equalizing disk use over time.
> - Rebalancing blocks locally. This would help equalize disk use as disks are
> added/replaced in older cluster nodes.
> Datanodes should actively manage their local disk so operator intervention is
> not needed.
