Chris Douglas commented on HDFS-12410:
--------------------------------------

bq. In my opinion, if we have misspelled or unsupported type, it is better to 
fail than continue. Fail fast, so I can fix it.
The deployment environment is unusual, since we have the same configuration 
used with DNs with different capabilities. I doubt this is common.

Pushing a config with an unsupported/misspelled type... losing the nodes with a 
clear error is easier to debug than losing some fraction of capacity from nodes 
that appear healthy, otherwise. It's certainly easier to overlook.

> A storage configured with an unknown type will cause runtime exceptions. 
> Instead, these storages can be ignored/skipped.
