-------------------------------------

Thanks [~xiaochen] for reporting it and providing the patch! I think this 
feature will be very useful.

The patch looks good to me, I have only one minor comment that the failure 
scenario tests could check for the actual error code instead of checking for 
not zero.

> From testing we have seen setups with problematic racks / datanodes that 
> would not suffice basic EC usages. These are usually found out only after the 
> tests failed.
> We should provide a way to check this beforehand.
> Some scenarios:
> - not enough datanodes compared to EC policy's highest data+parity number
> - not enough racks to satisfy BPPRackFaultTolerant
> - highly uneven racks to satisfy BPPRackFaultTolerant
> - highly uneven racks (so that BPP's considerLoad logic may exclude some busy 
> nodes on the rack, resulting in #2)
