Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-4804:
-----------------------------------
Given that the config is labeled ".percent", maybe it should be 0-100 instead
of 0.0 to 1.0? Or we should call it ".fraction" instead?
> WARN when users set the block balanced preference percent below 0.5 or above
> 1.0

> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4-alpha
> Reporter: Stephen Chu
> Assignee: Stephen Chu
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0.5-beta

> Attachments: HDFS-4804.patch

>
> With the new feature added in HDFS-1804 (Add a new block-volume device
> choosing policy that looks at free space), it'd be useful to have a WARN log
> if the operator sets
> dfs.datanode.fsdataset.volume.choosing.balanced-space-preference-percent to a
> value greater than 1.0. This might happen if the operator mistakenly assumes
> that this setting takes in a percentage number from 0.0-100.0, while the
> setting actually takes a range 0.0-1.0.
> Also, it'd be useful to WARN in the case that value is set below 0.5, which
> would cause disks with less free space to get more block allocations.
