Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-296:
--------------------------------------------
Yoram, as far as I know you use a large cluster of mostly identical machines.
For such clusters you need one configuration uniformly distributed to other nodes.
The case that Johan describes is different. You can have a uniform config, but should be
able to correct it for one or two nodes that are different from everything else.
Johan, I think this is good.
Please replace 0.98f by USABLE_DISK_PCT_DEFAULT
+1 after that.
> Do not assign blocks to a datanode with < x mb free

> Key: HADOOP-296
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-296
> Project: Hadoop
> Type: New Feature
> Components: dfs
> Versions: 0.3.2
> Reporter: Johan Oskarson
> Attachments: minspace.patch, minspacev2.patch
>
> We're running a smallish cluster with very different machines, some with only 60 gb harddrives
> This creates a problem when inserting files into the dfs, these machines run out of space
quickly and then they cannot run any map reduce operations
> A solution would be to not assign any new blocks once the space is below a certain user
configurable threshold
> This free space could then be used by the map reduce operations instead (if that's on
the same disk)
