> This user had a specific DN that had a large non-DFS usage among
> dfs.data.dirs, and very little DFS usage (which is computed against total
> possible capacity).
> Balancer apparently only looks at the usage, and ignores to consider that
> non-DFS usage may also be high on a DN/cluster. Hence, it thinks that if a
> DFS Usage report from DN is 8% only, its got a lot of free space to write
> more blocks, when that isn't true as shown by the case of this user. It went
> on scheduling writes to the DN to balance it out, but the DN simply can't
> accept any more blocks as a result of its disks' state.
> I think it would be better if we _computed_ the actual utilization based on
> {{(100-(actual remaining space))/(capacity)}}, as opposed to the current
> {{(dfs used)/(capacity)}}. Thoughts?
> This isn't very critical, however, cause it is very rare to see DN space
> being used for non DN data, but it does expose a valid bug.
