---------------------------------------
This patch is ready to be committed. This has been reviewed by Tom, Sanjay and
Hairong, but if somebody wants to review it again, now is the time to do so.
Thanks.

> The current HDFS code typically places one replica on local rack, the second
> replica on remote random rack and the third replica on a random node of that
> remote rack. This algorithm is baked in the NameNode's code. It would be nice
> to make the block placement algorithm a pluggable interface. This will allow
> experimentation of different placement algorithms based on workloads,
> availability guarantees and failure models.
