Attached is the patch which adds a new balancer argument to specify the file

Each line in the file should contain hostnames to ignore.
Two new test cases are added to test the ability to ignore data nodes while
balancing.

> In some use cases, it is desirable to ignore a few data nodes while
> balancing. The administrator should be able to specify a list of data nodes
> in a file similar to the hosts file and the balancer should ignore these data
> nodes while balancing so that no blocks are added/removed on these nodes.
