["Arun C Murthy (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-1266:
---------------------------------------

+1, sounds like a good direction.

This is critical for getting map-reduce to be rack aware, specifically {{org.apache.hadoop.net.NetworkTopology.isOnSameRack}}. I need this for HADOOP-1721.

> NetworkTopology should operate only with the Node interface.
> The actual class DatanodeDescriptor, which implements Node should not be used inside.
> We should avoid introducing unnecessary dependencies.
> This is the typical case when everything can and should be defined using the interface.
> This becomes a requirement if we want to measure distances between other than data-nodes
> types of nodes like TaskTrackers, clients.
