> 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.
