Lars Francke commented on HDFS-11242:
-------------------------------------
Specifically: What [~reidchan] can currently already be done but requires a
restart, so the same "risk" already exists.
Does HDFS start moving data when the topolgy changes? I always was under the
assumption that it only happens on a balance operation.

> Key: HDFS-11242
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-11242
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: namenode
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha1
> Reporter: Reid Chan
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: HDFS-11242.002.patch, HDFS-11242.patch

>
> The network topology and dns to switch mapping are initialized at the start
> of the namenode.
> If admin wants to change the topology because of new datanodes added, he has
> to stop and restart namenode(s), otherwise those new added datanodes are
> squeezed under /default-rack.
> It is a low frequency operation, but it should be operated appropriately, so
> dfs admin should take the responsibility.
