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

             Summary: Add a tool to check rack configuration against EC policies
                 Key: HDFS-12946
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-12946
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: erasure-coding
            Reporter: Xiao Chen
            Assignee: Xiao Chen


From testing we have seen setups with problematic racks / datanodes that would not suffice basic EC usages. These are usually found out only after the tests failed.

We should provide a way to check this beforehand.

Some scenarios:
- not enough datanodes compared to EC policy's highest data+parity number
- not enough racks to satisfy BPPRackFaultTolerant
- highly uneven racks to satisfy BPPRackFaultTolerant
- highly uneven racks (so that BPP's considerLoad logic may exclude some busy nodes on the rack, resulting in #2)
