Harsh J commented on HDFS-1451:
-------------------------------
Different policy per namespace would solve the same need, and also keep the
metadata separate, no?
> Extend the pluggable block placement policy interface to handle/allow
> file-level intelligence

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.21.0
> Reporter: Harold Lim
>
> The current pluggable block placement policy interface
> (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-385) sets the policy globally. I
> propose to have this interface be extended to allow setting the policy on a
> file-level basis. For example, there may be cases where certain files may
> simply need the default policy and certain other files need more complex
> block placement policies.
