Is that also possible to control which disk the blocks are assigned? Say when there are multiple disks on one node, I wish the blocks belong to the local region distribute evenly across the disks. At present, it seems to that it is not. Though if you take non local regions' replica blocks in

The main motivation is to maintain good performance on RS failovers. This is also tied with hdfs and its block placement policy. Let me explain as I understand it. If we control the hdfs block placement strategy we can write all blocks for a hfile (or for all hfiles related to a region) to the
