Andrew Wang created HDFS-8549: --------------------------------- Summary: Abort the balancer if an upgrade is in progress Key: HDFS-8549 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8549 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Components: balancer & mover Affects Versions: 2.7.0 Reporter: Andrew Wang Assignee: Andrew Wang
Running the balancer during an ongoing upgrade has a negative affect, since DNs do not actually delete blocks. This means the balancer is making lots of extra replicas and not actually reducing the disk utilization of over-utilized nodes. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
