[jira] Created: (HDFS-1094) Intelligent block placement policy to decrease probability of block loss

Intelligent block placement policy to decrease probability of block loss
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HDFS-1094
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1094
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: name-node
            Reporter: dhruba borthakur
            Assignee: dhruba borthakur


The current HDFS implementation specifies that the first replica is local and the other two replicas are on any two random nodes on a random remote rack. This means that if any three datanodes die together, then there is a non-trivial probability of losing at least one block in the cluster. This JIRA is to discuss if there is a better algorithm that can lower probability of losing a block.
