Benoy Antony created HDFS-6441: ---------------------------------- Summary: Add ability to Ignore few datanodes while balancing Key: HDFS-6441 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6441 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Components: balancer Affects Versions: 2.4.0 Reporter: Benoy Antony Assignee: Benoy Antony
In some use cases, it is desirable to ignore a few data nodes while balancing. The administrator should be able to specify a list of data nodes in a file similar to the hosts file and the balancer should ignore these data nodes while balancing so that no blocks are added/removed on these nodes. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
