+1 My team has been developing and testing against the HDFS-2832 branch for the past month. It has proven to be quite stable.

This allows DataNodes to send block and storage reports per-storage. In addition this change introduces the ability to add a 'storage type' tag to the storage directories. This enables supporting different types of storages in addition to disk storage. Development of the feature is tracked in the jira https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2832. *Details of development and testing:* Development has been done in a separate branch - https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/common/branches/HDFS-2832. The updated design is posted at - https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12615761/20131125-HeterogeneousStorage.pdf. The changes involve ~6K changed lines of code, with a third of those changes being to tests. Please see the test plan https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12616642/20131202-HeterogeneousStorage-TestPlan.pdffor the details. Once the feature is merged into trunk, we will continue to test and fix any bugs that may be found on trunk as well as add further tests as outlined in the test plan. The bulk of the design and implementation was done by Suresh Srinivas, Sanjay Radia, Nicholas Sze, Junping Du and me. Also, thanks to Eric Sirianni, Chris Nauroth, Steve Loughran, Bikas Saha, Andrew Wang and Todd Lipcon for providing feedback on the Jiras and in discussions. This vote runs for a week and closes on 12/9/2013 at 11:59 pm PT.
