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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
