Suresh Srinivas commented on HADOOP-3574:
-----------------------------------------
Should we create another jira to recover form this condition. We could use
mechanism similar to balancer to move some blocks to other datanodes to free up
space? Datanodes could also indicate this condition to namenode and trigger
freeing up space by moving blocks. Alternatively, this could also be done
proactively by the namenode when the free space reported by the datanode
(during heartbeat) goes below certain threshold. This will improve robustness.
> Better Datanode DiskOutOfSpaceException handling.

> When a datanode ran out of disk space, it throws DiskOutOfSpaceException
> internally. However, it does not notify the writing client about the
> exception. As a result, the client will wait until socket timeout.
