A list of storage types for creation fallback storage.

When creating a block, if a particular storage type specified in the policy

Adding more nodes to the cold storage can grow the storage independent of the compute capacity

Note that cluster administrators may change the storage policy table
according to the characteristic of the cluster.
For example, in order to prevent losing archival data,
administrators may want to use DISK as fallback storage for replication in the Cold policy.
A drawback of such setting is that the DISK storages could be filled up with archival data.
As a result, the entire cluster may become full and cannot serve hot data anymore.
Note that the Lasy_Persist policy is useful only for single replica blocks.
For blocks with more than one replicas, all the replicas will be written to DISK
since writing only one of the replicas to RAM_DISK does not improve the overall performance.
** {Configurations}
** {Storage Policy Resolution}
*** {Setting The List of All Storage Policies}
When a file or directory is created, its storage policy is <unspecified>.
The storage policy can be specified using
the "<<<{{{Set Storage Policy}dfsadmin -setStoragePolicy}}>>>" command.
The effective storage policy of a file or directory is resolved by the following rules.
* <<dfs.block.storage.policies>>
- a list of block storage policy names and IDs.
The syntax is
[[1]] If the file or directory is specificed with a storage policy, return it.
NAME_1:ID_1, NAME_2:ID_2, ..., NAME_<n>:ID_<n>
where ID is an integer in the closed range [1,15] and NAME is case insensitive.
The first element is the <default policy>. Empty list is not allowed.
The default value is shown below.
+------------------------------------------+
<property>
<name>dfs.block.storage.policies</name>
<value>HOT:12, WARM:8, COLD:4</value>
</property>
+------------------------------------------+
[[2]] For an unspecified file or directory,
if it is the root directory, return the <default storage policy>.
Otherwise, return its parent's effective storage policy.
[]
*** {Setting Storage Policy Details}
The effective storage policy can be retrieved by
the "<<<{{{Set Storage Policy}dfsadmin -getStoragePolicy}}>>>" command.
The following configuration properties are for setting the details of each storage policy,
where <<<\<ID\>>>> is the actual policy ID.
* <<dfs.block.storage.policy.\<ID\>>>
- a list of storage types for storing the block replicas.
The syntax is
** {Configuration}
STORAGE_TYPE_1, STORAGE_TYPE_2, ..., STORAGE_TYPE_<n>
When creating a block, the <i>-th replica is stored using <i>-th storage type
for <i> less than or equal to <n>, and
the <j>-th replica is stored using <n>-th storage type for <j> greater than <n>.
Empty list is not allowed.
Examples:
+------------------------------------------+
DISK : all replicas stored using DISK.
DISK, ARCHIVE : the first replica is stored using DISK and all the
remaining replicas are stored using ARCHIVE.
+------------------------------------------+
* <<dfs.block.storage.policy.creation-fallback.\<ID\>>>
- a list of storage types for creation fallback storage.
The syntax is
STORAGE_TYPE_1, STORAGE_TYPE_2, ..., STORAGE_TYPE_n
When creating a block, if a particular storage type specified in the policy
is unavailable, the fallback STORAGE_TYPE_1 is used. Further, if
STORAGE_TYPE_<i> is also unavailable, the fallback STORAGE_TYPE_<(i+1)> is used.
In case all fallback storages are unavailable, the block will be created
with number of replicas less than the specified replication factor.
An empty list indicates that there is no fallback storage.
* <<dfs.block.storage.policy.replication-fallback.\<ID\>>>
- a list of storage types for replication fallback storage.
The usage of this configuration property is similar to
<<<dfs.block.storage.policy.creation-fallback.\<ID\>>>>
except that it takes effect on replication but not block creation.
* <<dfs.storage.policy.enabled>>
- for enabling/disabling the storage policy feature.
The default value is <<<true>>>.
