Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HADOOP-4116:
------------------------------------------------
It is not clear to me that the test (TestDatanodeDeath) failed is not related
since the patch changed quite a lot Datanode codes. Created HADOOP-4278 for
TestDatanodeDeath.
> 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.
