[jira] [Created] (HDFS-3672) Expose disk-location information for blocks to enable better scheduling

---------------------------------

             Summary: Expose disk-location information for blocks to enable better scheduling
                 Key: HDFS-3672
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3672
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha
            Reporter: Andrew Wang
            Assignee: Andrew Wang


Currently, HDFS exposes on which datanodes a block resides, which allows clients to make scheduling decisions for locality and load balancing. Extending this to also expose on which disk on a datanode a block resides would enable even better scheduling, on a per-disk rather than coarse per-datanode basis.

This API would likely look similar to Filesystem#getFileBlockLocations, but also involve a series of RPCs to the responsible datanodes to determine disk ids.
