--------------------------------

Hi All,

In the proposed patch, Datanode is sending {{balancerBandwidth}} value to the 
Namenode through heartbeats. As we know this is done for consistency discussed 
earlier in this jira. On a second look, I have another idea which will have 
less overhead. 

- We already have a set of datanode metrics exposed which can be used by 
admins/monitoring tools. How about exposing {{balancerBandwidth}} value as a 
Datanode metric? Here, admin/monitoring tool has to individually collect the 
metrics from every Datanode.

> Add a command to get the bandwidth of balancer

> Now reading logs is the only way to check how the balancer bandwidth is set. 
> It would be useful for administrators if they can get the parameter via CLI.
