The old datanodes always are in high used percent > of space and new added ones are in low percent. > Through we can used the external balance tool to balance the space used rate, > it will cost extra network IO and it's not easy to control the balance speed. > An easy solution is to implement an balanced block placement policy which > will choose low used percent datanodes for new blocks with a little high > possibility. In a not long term, the used percent of datanodes will trend to > be balanced. > Suggestions and discussions are welcomed. Thanks -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
