[jira] [Updated] (HADOOP-16899) Update HdfsDesign.md to reduce ambiguity

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-16899?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Akshay Nehe updated HADOOP-16899:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
A proposed update to [https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/site/markdown/HdfsDesign.md|http://example.com/] in the section "Replica Placement: The First Baby Steps" 4th paragraph, 2nd last line.

The sentence is leading to ambiguity of reader.

Considering the statement segmented in 3 parts by the commas:
 # the first part talks about "one thirds of replicas";
 # the second part talks about "two thirds of replicas"
 # the third part talking about "the other third" is leading to ambiguity when one thirds and two thirds have already accounted for the whole.

Proposed solution:

Getting rid of the third part or rephrasing entire sentence to capture the overall essence of the sentence.

In other words, replacing 

_One third of replicas are on one node, two thirds of replicas are on one rack, and the other third are evenly distributed across the remaining racks._

with

_One third of replicas are on one node, two thirds of replicas are on one rack._

Please suggest if any additional meaning is getting lost with this replacement.

The sentence is leading to ambiguity of reader.

Proposed solution:

Getting rid of the third part of sentence (after 2nd comma) or rephrase entire sentence to capture the overall essence of the sentence.

In other words, replacing 

_One third of replicas are on one node, two thirds of replicas are on one rack, and the other third are evenly distributed across the remaining racks._

with

_One third of replicas are on one node, two thirds of replicas are on one rack._
