+HDFS Federation Balance Guide
+=====================
+
+<!-- MACRO{toc|fromDepth=0|toDepth=3} -->
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+  HDFS Federation Balance is a tool balancing data across different federation
+  namespaces. It uses [DistCp](../hadoop-distcp/DistCp.html) to copy data from
+  the source path to the target path. First it creates a snapshot at the source
+  path and submits the initial distcp. Second it uses distcp diff to do the
+  incremental copy until the source and the target are the same. Then If it's
+  working in RBF mode it updates the mount table in Router. Finally it moves the
+  source to trash.
+
+  This document aims to describe the usage and design of the HDFS Federation
+  Balance.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+  The hdfs federation balance tool supports both normal federation cluster and
+  router-based federation cluster. Taking rbf for example. Supposing we have a
+  mount entry in Router:
+
+    Source       Destination
+    /foo/src     hdfs://namespace-0/foo/src
+
+  The command below runs an hdfs federation balance job. The first parameter is
+  the mount entry. The second one is the target path which must include the
+  target cluster. The option `-router` indicates this is in router-based
+  federation mode.
+
+    bash$ /bin/hadoop fedbalance -router submit /foo/src hdfs://namespace-1/foo/dst
+
+  It copies data from hdfs://namespace-0/foo/src to hdfs://namespace-1/foo/dst
+  incrementally and finally updates the mount entry to:
+
+    Source       Destination
+    /foo/src     hdfs://namespace-1/foo/dst
+
+  If the hadoop shell process exits unexpectedly, we can use the command below
+  to continue the unfinished job:
+
+    bash$ /bin/hadoop fedbalance continue
+
+  This will scan the journal to find all the unfinished jobs, recover and
+  continue to execute them.
+
+  If we want to balance in a normal federation cluster, use the command below.
+
+    bash$ /bin/hadoop fedbalance submit hdfs://namespace-0/foo/src hdfs://namespace-1/foo/dst
+
+  In normal federation mode the source path must includes the path schema.
+
+### RBF Mode And Normal Federation Mode
+
+  The hdfs federation balance tool has 2 modes:
+
+  * the router-based federation mode (RBF mode).
+  * the normal federation mode.
+
+  By default the command runs in the normal federation mode. You can specify the
+  rbf mode by using the option `-router`.
+
+  In the rbf mode the first parameter is taken as the mount point. It disables
+  write by setting the mount point readonly.
+
+  In the normal federation mode the first parameter is taken as the full path of
+  the source. The first parameter must include the source cluster. It disables
+  write by cancelling all the permissions of the source path.
+
+  Details about disabling write see [HDFS FedBalance](#HDFS_FedBalance).
+
+### Command Options
+
+Command `submit` has 5 options:
+
+| Option key                     | Description                          | Default |
+| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------ | ------- |
+| -router | Run in router-based federation mode. | Normal federation mode. |
+| -forceCloseOpen | Force close all open files when there is no diff in the DIFF_DISTCP stage. | Wait until there is no open files. |
+| -map | Max number of concurrent maps to use for copy. | 10 |
+| -bandwidth | Specify bandwidth per map in MB. | 10 |
+| -delay | Specify the delayed duration(millie seconds) when the job needs to retry. | 1000 |
+| -moveToTrash | This options has 3 values: `trash` (move the source path to trash), `delete` (delete the source path directly) and `skip` (skip both trash and deletion). By default the server side trash interval is used. If the trash is disabled in the server side, the default trash interval 60 minutes is used. | trash |
+
+### Configuration Options
+--------------------
+
+Set configuration options at fedbalance-site.xml.
+
+| Configuration key              | Description                          | Default |
+| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------ | ------- |
+| hdfs.fedbalance.procedure.work.thread.num | The worker threads number of the BalanceProcedureScheduler. BalanceProcedureScheduler is responsible for scheduling a balance job, including submit, run, delay and recover. | 10 |
+| hdfs.fedbalance.procedure.scheduler.journal.uri | The uri of the journal, the journal file is used for handling the job persistence and recover. | hdfs://localhost:8020/tmp/procedure |
+
+Architecture of HDFS Federation Balance
+----------------------
+
+  The components of the HDFS Federation Balance can be classified into the
+  following categories:
+
+  * Balance Procedure Scheduler
+  * HDFS FedBalance
+
+### Balance Procedure Scheduler
+
+  The Balance Procedure Scheduler implements a state machine. It's responsible
+  for scheduling a balance job, including submit, run, delay and recover.
+  The model is showed below:
+
+  ![Balance Procedure Scheduler](images/BalanceProcedureScheduler.png)
+
+  * After a job is submitted, the job is added to the pendingQueue.
+  * The worker threads take jobs and run them. Journals are written to storage.
+  * If writing the journal fails, the job is added to the recoverQueue for later
+    recovery. If Worker thread catches a RetryTaskException, it adds the job to
+    the delayQueue.
+  * Rooster thread takes job from delayQueue and adds it back to pendingQueue.
+  * When a scheduler starts, it scans all the unfinished jobs from the journal
+    and add them to the recoverQueue. The recover thread will recover them from
+    the journal and add them back to the pendingQueue.
+
+### HDFS FedBalance
+
+  HDFS FedBalance is implemented as a job of the state machine. All the distcp
+  balance logic are implemented here. An HDFS FedBalance job consists of 3
+  procedures:
+
+  * DistCpProcedure: This is the first procedure. It handles all the data copy
+    works. There are 6 stages:
+    * PRE_CHECK: Do the pre-check of the src and dst path.
+    * INIT_DISTCP: Create a snapshot of the source path and distcp it to the
+      target.
+    * DIFF_DISTCP: Submit distcp with `-diff` round by round to sync source and
+      target paths. If `-forceCloseOpen` is set, this stage will finish when
+      there is no diff between src and dst. Otherwise this stage only finishes
+      when there is no diff and no open files.
+    * DISABLE_WRITE: Disable write operations so the src won't be changed. When
+      working in router mode, it is done by making the mount point readonly.
+      In normal federation mode it is done by cancelling all the permissions of
+      the source path.
+    * FINAL_DISTCP: Force close all the open files and submit the final distcp.
+    * FINISH: Do the cleanup works. In normal federation mode the finish stage
+      also restores the permission of the dst path.
+
+  * MountTableProcedure: This procedure updates the mount entry in Router. The
+    readonly is unset and the destination is updated of the mount point. This
+    procedure is activated only when option `-router`.
+
+  * TrashProcedure: This procedure moves the source path to trash.
+
+  After all 3 procedures finish, the balance job is done.
