--------------------------------------
Thanks for the detailed analysis Hairong. I filed the original jira just
looking at one symptom.

> Key: HADOOP-4116
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4116
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: dfs
> Affects Versions: 0.17.0
> Reporter: Raghu Angadi
> Assignee: Hairong Kuang
>
> The number of threads are currently limited on datanodes. Once these threads
> are occupied, DataNode does not accept any more requests (DOS). Recently we
> saw a case where most of the 256 threads were waiting in
> {{DataXceiver.replaceBlock()}} trying to acquire {{balancingSem}}. Since
> rebalancing is (heavily) throttled, I would think this would be the common
> case.
> These operations waiting for active rebalancing threads to finish need not
> take up a thread.
