---------------------------------------
Hmm.. TestDecommission passed on my machine.
> dfs should report total size of all the space that dfs is using

> Key: HADOOP-1463
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1463
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: dfs
> Affects Versions: 0.12.3
> Reporter: Hairong Kuang
> Assignee: Hairong Kuang
> Fix For: 0.14.0

> Attachments: usedSpace.patch, usedSpace.patch

> Currently namenode reports two statistics back to the client:
> 1. The total capacity of dfs. This is a sum of all datanode's capacities,
> each of which is calculated by datanode summing all data directories disk
> space.
> 2. The total remaining space of dfs. This is a sum of all datanodes's
> remaining space. Each datanode's remaining space is calculated by using the
> following formula: remaining space = unused space -
> capacity*unusableDiskPercentage - reserved space. So the remaining space
> shows how much space that the dfs can still use, but it does not show the
> size of unused space.
> Each dfs client caculates the total dfs used space by substracting remaining
> space from the total capacity. So the used space does not accurately shows
> the space that dfs is using. However it is a very important number that dfs
> should provide.
