> The current HDFS code typically places one replica on local rack, the second replica on remote random rack and the third replica on a random node of that remote rack. This algorithm is baked in the NameNode's code. It would be nice to make the block placement algorithm a pluggable interface. This will allow experimentation of different placement algorithms based on workloads, availability guarantees and failure models.
