Christian Kunz commented on HADOOP-2576:
----------------------------------------

Heartbeat is indeed 1 minute.

On the other hand, of the 143437 blocks in 2nd block report listing blocks to 
be deleted on 10 datanodes, about 127650 are unique (including the one I 
checked having 40 failed attempts to delete), about 15400 are double, and less 
than 400 are replicated more or equal 3 times.

>             Project: Hadoop
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: dfs
>    Affects Versions: 0.16.0
>            Reporter: Christian Kunz
>            Priority: Blocker
>             Fix For: 0.16.0

> We have a cluster running the same applications again and again with a high 
> turnover of files.
> The performance of these applications seem to be correlated to the lifetime 
> of the namenode:
> After starting the namenode, the applications need increasingly more time to 
> complete, with about 50% more time after 1 week. 
> During that time the namenode average cpu usage increases from typically 10% 
> to 30%, memory usage nearly doubles (although the average amount of data on 
> dfs stays the same), and the average load factor increases by a factor of 2-3 
> (although not  significantly high, <2).
> When looking at the namenode and datanode logs, I see a lot of asks to delete 
> blocks coming from the namenode for blocks not in the blockmap of the 
> datanodes, repeatedly for the same blocks.
> When I counted the number of blocks asked by the namenode to be deleted, I 
> noticed a noticeable increase with the lifetime of the namenode (a factor of 
> 2-3 after 1 week).
> This makes me wonder whether the namenode does not purge the list of invalid 
> blocks from non-existing blocks.
> But independently, the namenode has a degradation issue.
