Kitti Nanasi commented on HDFS-12946:
-------------------------------------

I discussed with [~xiaochen] that I will take this task on.

[~ayushtkn], it's a good idea, I agree that it would be useful to link this 
with the enable and set policy commands.

I also want to expose the result of this verify via JMX as well, I will upload 
a patch soon.

> 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)
