[jira] [Commented] (HDFS-6835) Archival Storage: Add a new API to set storage policy

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6835?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14139823#comment-14139823 ] 

Arpit Agarwal commented on HDFS-6835:
-------------------------------------

Hi [~szetszwo], what do you think of making this API available to non-administrators since HDFS-6847 added support for directory level storage policies.

The use case is e.g. a MapReduce library could set storage policy on an output directory before launching jobs. Thanks.

> The new data migration tool proposed HDFS-6801 will determine if the storage policy of files needs to be updated.  The tool needs a new API to set storage policy.
