dhruba borthakur commented on HDFS-853: --------------------------------------- We can calculate the variance of space-usage by parsing "dfsadmin -report" but it will be good to have it in the webUI. It will also be good to expose it via a Hadoop Metric. > The HDFS webUI should show a metric that summarizes whether the cluster is > balanced regarding disk space usage > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-853 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-853 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: name-node > Reporter: dhruba borthakur > > It is desirable to know how much the datanodes vary form one another in terms > of space utilization to get a sense of how well a HDFS cluster is balanced. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
