> Currently block location for writes are made based on:
> # Datanode load (number of transceivers)
> # Space left on datanode
> # Topology
> With storage abstraction, namenode must choose a storage instead of a
> datanode for block placement. It also needs to consider storage type, load on
> the storage etc.
> As an additional benefit, currently HDFS support heterogeneous nodes (nodes
> with different number of spindles etc.) poorly. This work should help solve
> that issue as well.
