             Summary: Under replicated blocks are not getting re-replicated
                 Key: HADOOP-14319
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-14319
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.7.2
            Reporter: Anil


Under replicated blocks are not getting re-replicated

In production Hadoop cluster of 5 Manangement + 5 Data Nodes, under replicated 
blocks are not re-replicated even after 2 days. 

Here is quick view of required configurations;

 Default replication factor:    3
 Average block replication:     3.0
 Corrupt blocks:                0
 Missing replicas:              0 (0.0 %)
 Number of data-nodes:          5
 Number of racks:               1

After bringing one of the DataNodes down, the replication factor for the blocks 
allocated on the Data Node became 2. It is observed that, even after 2 days the 
replication factor remains as 2. Under replicated blocks are not getting 
re-replicated to another DataNodes in the cluster. 

If a Data Node goes down, HDFS will try to replicate the blocks from Dead DN to 
other nodes and the priority. Are there any configuration changes to speed up 
the re-replication process for the under replicated blocks? 

When tested for blocks with replication factor 1, the re-replication happened 
to 2 overnight in around 10 hours of time. But blocks with 2 replication factor 
are not being re-replicated to default replication factor 3.
