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

Thanks [~brahmareddy], HDFS-9375 actually resolve the issue to set bandwidth 
for specific node perfectly and I have some same idea with him. It can be used 
to reset the bandwidth in memory with the value in configuration as well.
However, HDFS-9375 focus on "SET" and I focus on "RESET". I want to synchronize 
bandwidth with the permanent value in the configuration file automatically.  
The value set by setBalancerBandwidth is sometimes temporary (scheduled task at 
low-load time or other use). If we have hundreds of datanodes and have various 
value in their hdfs-site.xml, it may be a little difficult to set the value 
back. So I thinks this new command would be useful in some occasions.

> We can already set balancer bandwidth dynamically using command 
> setBalancerBandwidth. The setting value is not persistent and not stored in 
> configuration file. The different datanodes could their different default or 
> former setting in configuration.
> When we suggested to develop a schedule balancer task which runs at midnight 
> everyday. We set a larger bandwidth for it and hope to reset the value after 
> finishing. However, we found it difficult to reset the different setting for 
> different datanodes as the setBalancerBandwidth command can only set the same 
> value to all datanodes. If we want to use unique setting for every datanode, 
> we have to reset the datanodes.
> So it would be useful to have a command to synchronize the setting with the 
> configuration file.
