Kihwal Lee commented on HADOOP-9640:
------------------------------------
Can low priority requests starve higher priority requests? If a low priority
call queue is full and all reader threads are blocked on put() for adding calls
belonging to that queue, newly arriving higher priority requests won't get
processed even if their corresponding queue is not full. If the request rate
stays greater than service rate for some time in this state, the listen queue
will likely overflow and all types of requests will suffer regardless of
priority.

> Several production Hadoop cluster incidents occurred where the Namenode was
> overloaded and failed to respond.
> We can improve quality of service for users during namenode peak loads by
> replacing the FIFO call queue with a [Fair Call
> Queue|https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12616864/NN-denial-of-service-updated-plan.pdf].
> (this plan supersedes rpc-congestion-control-draft-plan).
> Excerpted from the communication of one incident, “The map task of a user was
> creating huge number of small files in the user directory. Due to the heavy
> load on NN, the JT also was unable to communicate with NN...The cluster
> became responsive only once the job was killed.”
> Excerpted from the communication of another incident, “Namenode was
> overloaded by GetBlockLocation requests (Correction: should be getFileInfo
> requests. the job had a bug that called getFileInfo for a nonexistent file in
> an endless loop). All other requests to namenode were also affected by this
> and hence all jobs slowed down. Cluster almost came to a grinding
> halt…Eventually killed jobtracker to kill all jobs that are running.”
> Excerpted from HDFS-945, “We've seen defective applications cause havoc on
> the NameNode, for e.g. by doing 100k+ 'listStatus' on very large directories
> (60k files) etc.”
