             Summary: Make seed optional NetworkTopology#sortByDistance
                 Key: HDFS-6701
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6701
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: namenode
    Affects Versions: 2.5.0
            Reporter: Ashwin Shankar


Currently seed in NetworkTopology#sortByDistance is set to the blockid which 
causes the RNG to generate same pseudo random order for each block. If no node 
local block location is present,this causes the same rack local replica to be 
hit for a particular block.
It'll be good to make the seed optional, so that one could turn it off if they 
want block locations of a block to be randomized.
