Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HDFS-4988:
----------------------------------------------
Arpit, thanks for putting effort on splitting the patch. The current patch is
still big and some of the code are just renaming method/variable names, e.g.
storageID => storageUuid, volumeMap => globalReplicaMap. First of all, I
suggest moving the rename to a separated JIRA like you did before. It is
really confusing when mixing rename with the real logical changes.
Secondly, do we really need to do the rename? What's wrong to call it
"storageID"? An ID could be a UUID. In the second case, the new name
globalReplicaMap may be misleading - it sounds like a global cluster replica
map. Also, the volumeMap was there for a very long time. I think we should
not rename it unless there is a significant change of it.
> Datanode must support all the volumes as individual storages

> Currently all the volumes on datanode is reported as a single storage. This
> change proposes reporting them as individual storage. This requires:
> # A unique storage ID for each storage
> #* This needs to be generated during formatting
> # There should be an option to allow existing disks to be reported as single
> storage unit for backward compatibility.
> # A functionality is also needed to split the existing all volumes as single
> storage unit to to individual storage units.
> # -Configuration must allow for each storage unit a storage type attribute.
> (Now HDFS-5000)-
> # Block reports must be sent on a per storage basis. In some cases (such
> memory tier) block reports may need to be sent more frequently. That means
> block reporting period must be on a per storage type basis.
> My proposal is for new clusters to configure volumes by default as separate
> storage unit. Lets discuss.
