> When a new data node joins hdfs cluster, it does not hold much data. So any
> map task assigned to the machine most likely does not read local data, thus
> increasing the use of network bandwidth. On the other hand, when some data
> nodes become full, new data blocks are placed on only non-full data nodes,
> thus reducing their read parallelism.
> This jira aims to find an approach to redistribute data blocks when imbalance
> occurs in the cluster. An solution should meet the following requirements:
> 1. It maintains data availablility guranteens in the sense that rebalancing
> does not reduce the number of replicas that a block has or the number of
> racks that the block resides.
> 2. An adminstrator should be able to invoke and interrupt rebalancing from a
> command line.
> 3. Rebalancing should be throttled so that rebalancing does not cause a
> namenode to be too busy to serve any incoming request or saturate the network.
