Harsh J commented on HDFS-9940:
-------------------------------

Agreed on the confusion when there's role-based config management involved - 
I'd also vote for having Balancers discover the property from DNs 
directly/dynamically instead, which gives the added benefit of allowing per-DN 
flexibility (should it get required in future) - HDFS-7466.

> Rename dfs.balancer.max.concurrent.moves to avoid confusion

> It is very confusing for both Balancer and Datanode to use the same property 
> {{dfs.datanode.balance.max.concurrent.moves}}. It is especially so for the 
> Balancer because the property has "datanode" in the name string. Many 
> customers forget to set the property for the Balancer.
> Change the Balancer to use a new property 
> {{dfs.balancer.max.concurrent.moves}}.
