Ming Ma commented on HDFS-10967:
--------------------------------

Thanks [~zhz]. Indeed that is an issue when the cluster has heterogeneous 
nodes, and the rack-based assumption makes sense to me.

* For balancer or over replicated scenarios, {{chooseReplicasToDelete}} uses 
absolute free space, maybe that needs to be change to percentage based?
* What if we move this new policy to {{isGoodDatanode}}? It has several 
benefits:
** BlockPlacementPolicyRackFaultTolerant can uses it.
** Cover the case where the writer is outside of the cluster, thus the call 
path is chooseLocalRack -> chooseRandom.
* Typo below you meant this.considerCapacity.

    this.considerLoad = conf.getBoolean(...);
{noformat}



> Add configuration for BlockPlacementPolicy to avoid near-full DataNodes

> Large production clusters are likely to have heterogeneous nodes in terms of 
> storage capacity, memory, and CPU cores. It is not always possible to 
> proportionally ingest data into DataNodes based on their remaining storage 
> capacity. Therefore it's possible for a subset of DataNodes to be much closer 
> to full capacity than the rest.
> This heterogeneity is most likely rack-by-rack -- i.e. _m_ whole racks of 
> low-storage nodes and _n_ whole racks of high-storage nodes. So It'd be very 
> useful if we can lower the chance for those near-full DataNodes to become 
> destinations for the 2nd and 3rd replicas.
