Hairong Kuang commented on HDFS-1094:
-------------------------------------
Suppose a file has N blocks. The proposed policy places all N blocks in at most
3 racks, while the current default policy could place them in up to N+1 racks,
which represent a bigger aggregate read bandwidth when N>2.
> Intelligent block placement policy to decrease probability of block loss

> The current HDFS implementation specifies that the first replica is local and
> the other two replicas are on any two random nodes on a random remote rack.
> This means that if any three datanodes die together, then there is a
> non-trivial probability of losing at least one block in the cluster. This
> JIRA is to discuss if there is a better algorithm that can lower probability
> of losing a block.
