                                            BlockStoreLocation location,

Description copied from interface: Allocator

Allocates a block from the given block store location under a given view. The location can be a specific location, or BlockStoreLocation.anyTier() or BlockStoreLocation.anyDirInTier(String). TODO(jiacheng): Refactor Allocator interface to decouple Reviewer logic from Allocator. The proposed allocation will be reviewed by a Reviewer. The reviewer will check certain aspects of the allocation and may reject the allocation if it does not meet certain criteria. The parameter skipReview specifies whether the review should be skipped. The review should be skipped when we want the behavior of the allocator to be deterministic and do not want it to be affected by the reviewer. E.g. We just freed up some space in Alluxio and want the allocation to use the freed space.

Specified by:

allocateBlockWithView in interface Allocator

Parameters:

blockSize - the size of block in bytes

location - the location in block store

metadataView - of the block metadata

skipReview - whether the review should be skipped

Returns:

a StorageDirView in which to create the temp block meta if success, null otherwise
