Hudson commented on HDFS-4992: ------------------------------ FAILURE: Integrated in Hadoop-Hdfs-trunk #1463 (See [https://builds.apache.org/job/Hadoop-Hdfs-trunk/1463/]) HDFS-4992. Make balancer's mover thread count and dispatcher thread count configurable.

For example, on our cluster, 'hdfs dfs -ls /' > command took about 1 minute when balancer is active. When no balancing in > progress, the same command finishes in second or two. > This patch makes amount of threads configurable by two new options > 'dfs.balancer.moverThreads' and 'dfs.balancer.dispatcherThreads'. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
