Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-3256:
--------------------------------------

bq. How does this relate to AbstractDNSToSwitchMapping.isSingleSwitch that 
Steve added recently?

I think the two are unrelated. This change only determines rack cardinality 
using the NetworkTopology class, which itself is fed by the configured 
DNSToSwitchMapping. This is the same methodology that the BlockManager has thus 
far been using to determine if replicas for a given block exist on more than 
one rack or not.

> HDFS treats the mere presence of a topology script being configured as 
> evidence that there are multiple racks. If there is in fact only a single 
> rack, the NN will try to place the blocks on at least two racks, and thus 
> blocks will be considered to be under-replicated.
