Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-6482:
--------------------------------------------
Hey guys, I filed HDFS-6800 to have the rolling upgrade discussion. I'm going
to commit this to trunk (but *not* to any other branches) in a bit if nobody
has any objections.
> Use block ID-based block layout on datanodes

> Right now blocks are placed into directories that are split into many
> subdirectories when capacity is reached. Instead we can use a block's ID to
> determine the path it should go in. This eliminates the need for the LDir
> data structure that facilitates the splitting of directories when they reach
> capacity as well as fields in ReplicaInfo that keep track of a replica's
> location.
> An extension of the work in HDFS-3290.
