Disk Balancer operates by creating a plan and goes on to execute that plan on the datanode.
A plan is a set of statements that describe how much data should move between two disks.
A plan is composed of multiple move steps. A move step has source disk, destination
disk and number of bytes to move.A plan can be executed against an operational data node. Disk balancer should not
disk and number of bytes to move. A plan can be executed against an operational data node. Disk balancer should not
interfere with other processes since it throttles how much data is copied
every second. Please note that disk balancer is not enabled by default on a cluster.
To enable diskbalancer `dfs.disk.balancer.enabled` must be set to `true` in hdfs-site.xml.

| `-out`| Allows user to control the output location of the plan file.|
| `-bandwidth`| Since datanode is operational and might be running other jobs, diskbalancer limits the amount of data moved per second. This parameter allows user to set the maximum bandwidth to be used. This is not required to be set since diskBalancer will use the deafult bandwidth if this is not specified.|
| `-thresholdPercentage`| Since we operate against a snap-shot of datanode, themove operations have a tolerance percentage to declare success. If user specifies 10% and move operation is say 20GB in size, if we can move 18GB that operation is considered successful. This is to accomodate the changes in datanode in real time. This parameter is not needed and a default is used if not specified.|
