Leon Gao created HDFS-14894:
-------------------------------
Summary: Add balancer parameter to balance top N used nodes
Key: HDFS-14894
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14894
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: balancer & mover
Reporter: Leon Gao
Assignee: Leon Gao
We sometimes see a few of our datanodes reach very high usage (due to various
reasons) and we need to reduce their usage in an urgent situation.
We see two ways to achieve it currently,
-Calculate and reset balancing threshold.
-Pick nodes manually according to usage stats and put them in a file and use
`-resource` flag.
However, both of them are not very intuitive or too much manual work in an
urgent close-to-outage situation. Add a small feature to automatically pick top
N used hosts will be a straightforward option, for example `-top 10` to only
target top 10 used datanodes.
