> DataNodeCluster is a great tool to simulate a large scale DFS cluster using a
> small set of machines. A few suggestions to improve this tool:
> # DataNodeCluster uses MiniDFSCluster#startDataNode to start multiple
> instances of DataNode on one machine. MiniDFSCluster sets DataNode's address
> to be 127.0.0.1. We should allow to set its address to 0.0.0.0 so DataNodes
> in different machines could communicate.
> # Currently the size of the blocks injected to DataNode and created in
> CreatedEditsLog is hardcoded as 10. It would be more convenient if this could
> be configurable. Also we need to make sure that both use the same block size.
> # If the replication factor of blocks is larger than 1, currently a DataNode
> in DataNodeCluster will be injected blocks multiple times and therefore it
> sends block reports to NameNode multiple times. Initial block reports contain
> only a portion of its blocks and therefore may cause unnecessary block
> replications. It would be cleaner if only one block report with all its
> blocks is sent.
