Arpit Agarwal commented on HADOOP-13738:
----------------------------------------
[~kihwal] that's a good point. The caller should deal with slow checks since a
single check can also hang indefinitely. The DN currently serializes disk
checks so one slow disk can delay checking the rest. Also it doesn't handle
stalled checks. I am testing some changes to fix this in the DataNode and plan
to post patches in the next few days.

> DiskChecker can fail to detect total disk/controller failures indefinitely.
> We have seen this in real clusters. DiskChecker performs simple
> permissions-based checks on directories which do not guarantee that any disk
> IO will be attempted.
> A simple improvement is to write some data and flush it to the disk.
