HDFS Balancer with Diferent Storage Types

[#1]

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

[#2 · Accepted solution]

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].

thanks a lot and best regards!
