Andrew Wang commented on HDFS-3672:
-----------------------------------
I think at this point, the patch addresses everyone's comments thus far. Does
someone mind marking it Patch Available so Jenkins runs?
@Suresh @Arun: I'd be happy to put up a short design doc if you'd like. I think
Todd's above posts make a pretty compelling case for potential I/O
improvements, and the implementation of the new {{DistributedFileSystem}} api
would definitely get refactored when HDFS-2832 is finished.
> Expose disk-location information for blocks to enable better scheduling

> Key: HDFS-3672
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3672
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha
> Reporter: Andrew Wang

> Currently, HDFS exposes on which datanodes a block resides, which allows
> clients to make scheduling decisions for locality and load balancing.
> Extending this to also expose on which disk on a datanode a block resides
> would enable even better scheduling, on a per-disk rather than coarse
> per-datanode basis.
> This API would likely look similar to Filesystem#getFileBlockLocations, but
> also involve a series of RPCs to the responsible datanodes to determine disk
> ids.
