   > > From user's point of view, "hdds.datanode.volume.min.free.space" looks 
very similar to "hdds.datanode.dir.du.reserved" functionally, like another kind 
of reserved space.

   >     1. Datanode runs DU/DF periodically and stores the disk stats to a 
cache , so at any point of time the stats might be behind the actual usage,( 
although this cache is updated on every write chunk so block data would be 
accounted in the space but it won't account for rocksdb/raft log metadata)

   >     2. If we only configure a default for the reserved space, containers 
will close when usage crosses reserved space. There might be a delay in SCM 
receiving the close container action and asking the DN's in the pipeline to 
close it, during this delay client may still write to that container  and 
violate the reserve space

default for reserved space, else we need to have a small buffer like what is 
defined in this PR , before the reserved space is reached.
   
   Had a offline discussion with @sadanand48 , here are the agreed points,
   1.  This patch can help to reduce the possibility of run out of disk issue 
on DN.
   2. Container Quota management(lease) will help to prevent DN from out of 
disk from SCM side.  @sumitagrawl . 
   3. Besides the container block data, there are RocksDB directory and Ratis 
directory which are out of track about their storage usage. 
   4. Metrics of RocksDB directory usage and Ratis directory usage will help to 
estimate how much space should be reserved for them to avoid the DN out of 
space.
