    Description

      No administrative command provided to delete an user defined erasure coding policy 

      Step : -

      ---------------

      • Create a Directory
      • Add 64 user-defined ec policies in the ID range of [64 to 127].Beyond that system will not allow
        to add any more policy.
      • Enable an ec policy and the set it to the directory.
      • Disable the policy and check the state of the policy in -listPolicies
        -If the ec policy is in disable state ,system will not allow you to set it on any directory
        -Remove the ec policy and check the state of the policy in -listPolicies.
        Its just set the state as removed ,but the policy is still present in the list.
        -If the ec policy is in remove state,system will not allow you to set it on any directory
      • There is no difference between disable and remove state.
        -After adding 64 user-defined ec policies ,if an user wants to delete a policy which is not usable any more or not correctly added instead of that wants to add a new desired user-defined ec policy ,it can not be possible as no delete option is provided.Only remove policy option is given,which is not removing an user-defined policy,only set the policy state as removed.

      Actual ouput :-

      No administrative command provided to delete an user defined erasure coding policy.With "-removePolicy" we can set a policy state as removed,we cann't delete the user-defined ec policy.After adding 64 user-defined ec policies,if a user wants to delete an policy and add a new desired policy,there is no administrative provision provided to perform this operation.

      Expected output :-

      Either "-removePolicy" should remove the user-defined ec policy ,instead of changing the policy state to removed only or administrative privilege should be provided to delete an user-defined ec policy.
