Hi Raghu,

The periodic "du" and block reports thread thrash the disk. (Block Reports takes abt on an avg 21 mins )

and I think all the datanode threads are not able to do much and freeze

and the lock is *<0x54e550e0> *is held by another similar thread and tht thread is waiting on FSVolume blocked by getBlockReport()

Infact, during this time, the datanode appears as dead node and clients keep on getting createBlockException with timeout

We dont see this problem on other DNs with less number of blocks. So I think, 2Million files is an issue here

Pl correct me if I missed on something

The scan required for each block report is well known issue and it can be fixed. It was discussed multiple times (e.g. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3232?focusedCommentId=12587795#action_12587795 ).

Earlier, inline 'du' on datanodes used to cause the same problem and they they were moved to a separate thread (HADOOP-3232). block reports can do the same...

Though 2M blocks on DN is very large, there is no reason block reports should break things. Once we fix block reports, something else might break.. but that is different issue.

The problem we are having is that datanodes periodically stall for 10-15 minutes and drop off the active list and then come back.

What is going on is that a long operation set is holding the lock on on FSDataset.volumes, and all of the other block service requests stall behind this lock.

This is basically taking a stat on every hdfs block on the datanode, which in our case is ~ 2million, and can take 10+ minutes (we may be experiencing problems with our raid controller but have no visibility into it) at the OS level the file system seems fine and operations eventually finish.

It appears that a couple of different data structures are being locked with the single object FSDataset$Volume.

Then this happens:
"org.apache.hadoop.dfs.datanode$dataxcei...@1bcee17" daemon prio=10 tid=0x4da8d000 nid=0x7ae4 waiting for monitor entry [0x459fe000..0x459ff0d0]

   at org.apache.hadoop.dfs.DataNode$DataXceiver.run(DataNode.java:1045)
   at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)

which locks the FSDataset while waiting on the volume object

and now all of the Datanode operations stall waiting on the FSDataset object.
----------

Our particular installation doesn't use multiple directories for hdfs, so a first simple hack for a local fix would be to modify getNextVolume to just return the single volume and not be synchronized

A richer alternative would be to make the locking more fine grained on FSDataset$FSVolumeSet.

Of course we are also trying to fix the file system performance and dfs block loading that results in the block report taking a long time.

Any suggestions or warnings?

Thanks.
