Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-4116:
---------------------------------------
As I said, my intention is that receiveResponse never times out in normal state
no matter how slow the other side is. Setting KeepAlive is for detecting the
other side's machine gets crashed suddenly so it won't wait there forever. But
for all other cases, it will return eventually. Does it make sense?
> Balancer should provide better resource management

> 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.
