Hi Lars, I think BlockPlacementPolicyRackFaultTolerant can do it. This policy tries to place 3 replica separately in different racks.

So they are using rack names like this /dc1/rack1, /dc1/rack2, /dc2/rack1 etc. Unfortunately, the BlockPlacementPolicyDefault seems to place all blocks on /dc1/* sometimes. Is there a way to guarantee that /dc1/* and /dc2/* will be used in this scenario? Looking at chooseRandomWithStorageTypeTwoTrial it seems to consider the full "scope" and not its components. I couldn't find anything in the code but I had hoped I'm missing something: Is there a way to configure HDFS for the behaviour I'd like? Thanks!
