Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-1184:
---------------------------------------

Here are a few more comments:
1. The indention of the patch seems not the same as the requirement.
2. In isReplicationInProgress, in addiion to to check if neededReplications 
contains a block, shall we also check if the pendingReplication queue does not 
contain the block?
3. In containingNodeList, the parameter numReplicas works as an output. Is it 
clearer if we create a static class as the return class contaning both a 
datanode list and an integer? Also since the variable nonCommisiionedNodeList 
now contains decommissioning nodes, it would be better to change its name.
4. In TestDecommission, the test case for decomissioning a node that has the 
only replica of a block does not 100% guarateen that the decomissioning node 
contains any block. A more determininstic testcase is better. One solution 
could be first start a minicluster with one datanode and create a file, then 
add one more datanode and decomission the old one.

> Decommission fails if a block that needs replication has only one replica

> If the only replica of a block resides on a node being decommissioned, then 
> the decommission command does not complete. The blocks do not get added to 
> neededReplication because neededReplications.update() believes that the 
> number of current replicas is zero.
