+# Rack Awareness / Availability zones / Location support
+
+The aim is to be able to increase data safety, and make the cluster more resilient 
+against a location/site/availability zone/rack loss.
+
+To achieve this, a location parameter has been introduced. 
+It can be set at runtime for each RIAK node. 
+When claiming a new ring, the list of nodes is ordered taking into consideration the 
+location of the individual nodes, in a manner that adjacent nodes are preferably 
+from different locations.
+
+Basically it only changes the order of the nodes fed into the claiming algorithm.
+
+The default location is `undefined`. This means every node with no location parameter set
+will be handled as being in the same location. 
+
+## Ring visualization
+
+![RIAK Ring Location](ring-location.png)
+
+## Setup node's location parameter
+
+Setting up nodes’ location parameter is a staged operation like 
+other ring manipulations (join, leave, resize-ring, etc).
+
+### via riak admin
+Change current node location parameter:
+```bash
+riak admin cluster location rack_a
+```
+or specify a node:
+```bash
+riak admin cluster location site_b --node=dev2@127.0.0.1
+```
+
+#### by erlang function call
+
+```erlang
+riak_core_claimant:set_node_location(node(), "location_a"),
+```
+```erlang
+riak_core_claimant:plan(),
+riak_core_claimant:comit().
+```
+
+## Pitfalls
+There are circumstances in which the preferable node location assignment cannot be guaranteed.
+
+If at least one location parameter is set in the cluster when planning a cluster change, a warning
+message will be displayed when not all nodes in a preflist are assigned to a different location. 
+
+For example, if the default `n_val = 3` is specified and there are only `two distinct locations` set in the cluster, 
+the message `WARNING: Not all replicas will be on distinct locations` will be shown.  
+
+### Not enough distinct locations
+When Distinct Location Count is not divisible by Ring size.
+
+### Tail violations
+When Ring Size not divisible by Count Of Nodes. 
+[claim-fixes](claim-fixes.md) cover this, but improper distinct location count could result in undesirable location distribution within the ring.
+
+For example, there are 8 nodes on 3 distinct locations. 
+To ensure that every site/location has a piece of data, n_val must be at least 4.
+
+It can be checked:
+
+Stages changes:
+```erlang 
+PlannedRing = element(1, lists:last(element(3, riak_core_claimant:plan()))).
+riak_core_location:check_ring(PlannedRing, Nval = 4, MinimumNumberOfDistinctLocations = 3).
+```
+
+Actual ring:
+```erlang 
+{ok, Ring} = riak_core_ring_manager:get_my_ring(),
+riak_core_location:check_ring(Ring, Nval = 4, MinimumNumberOfDistinctLocations = 3).
+```
+
+If `riak_core_location:check_ring/3` returns with an empty list `[]`, there is no location violation.
+
+### Won't optimize transfers between old and new ring
+When location parameter change triggers ring ownership change, it currently does not optimize transfers.
