Placement Policy for Ratis Containers
The default placement policy for Ratis containers is SCMContainerPlacementRackAware.
SCMContainerPlacementRackAware
This policy requires container replicas to be present on at least two racks or one rack if only one is available. It provides rack failure tolerance. If the replication factor is three, this policy places two replicas on one rack and the third on a different rack. It is also valid for all three replicas to be present on different racks. Cloudera recommends this policy when you are using a network topology with racks.
SCMContainerPlacementCapacity
If the cluster’s network topology is not using multiple racks, Cloudera recommends you use SCMContainerPlacementCapacity. This placement policy leads to an I/O pattern where the lower utilized nodes are favoured more than the higher utilized nodes for placing containers. However, a part of the I/O will still go to the higher-utilized nodes.
SCMContainerPlacementRandom
This placement policy randomly selects healthy DataNodes without considering racks or node utilizations.
