Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-3672:
---------------------------------------
@Aaron, want to make sure we are on the same page. This is a temporary
solution. I am not going to block committing this change. When we make enough
progress in HDFS-2832, I plan to remove this functionality.

> Currently, HDFS exposes on which datanodes a block resides, which allows
> clients to make scheduling decisions for locality and load balancing.
> Extending this to also expose on which disk on a datanode a block resides
> would enable even better scheduling, on a per-disk rather than coarse
> per-datanode basis.
> This API would likely look similar to Filesystem#getFileBlockLocations, but
> also involve a series of RPCs to the responsible datanodes to determine disk
> ids.
