Summary: Archival Storage: Add a new data migration tool Key: HDFS-6801 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6801 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze Assignee: Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze The tool is similar to Balancer. It periodic scans the blocks in HDFS and uses path and/or other meta data (e.g. mtime) to determine if a block should be cooled down (i.e. hot => warm, or warm => cold) or warmed up (i.e. cold => warm, or warm => hot). In contrast to Balancer, the migration tool always move replicas to a different storage type. Similar to Balancer, the replicas are moved in a way that the number of racks the block does not decrease. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
