Over Hadoop Cluster with Heterogeneous Storage enabled (HOT, COLD, ARCHIVE, etc), Does HDFS BALANCER support different types of storage? Preserve storage type on rebalancing?

The HDFS Balancer utility respects and is aware of storage types. It balances each storage type individually with other available matching storage types in the cluster [1].
