Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze commented on HDFS-6133: ------------------------------------------- We should also add a configuration to enable/disable this feature since block pinning may not be preferable for some deployment. BTW, just heard from [~cnauroth] that Windows does not support sticky bit. Is there some other ways to implement block pinning? Use file name? > Make Balancer support exclude specified path > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-6133 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6133 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: balancer & mover, namenode > Reporter: zhaoyunjiong > Assignee: zhaoyunjiong > Attachments: HDFS-6133-1.patch, HDFS-6133-2.patch, HDFS-6133-3.patch, > HDFS-6133-4.patch, HDFS-6133-5.patch, HDFS-6133-6.patch, HDFS-6133-7.patch, > HDFS-6133-8.patch, HDFS-6133.patch > > > Currently, run Balancer will destroying Regionserver's data locality. > If getBlocks could exclude blocks belongs to files which have specific path > prefix, like "/hbase", then we can run Balancer without destroying > Regionserver's data locality. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
