Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-2649:
---------------------------------------
+1 The patch looks good to me.
It would be nicer if the replication monitor can adjust its frequency
dynamically. It slows itself down when the namenode becomes busy and replicates
more aggressively when the namenode becomes idle.
> The ReplicationMonitor sleep period should be configurable

> The HDFS Namenode computes replication work for datanodes once every 3
> seconds. This should be a configurable value. On large clusters, there could
> be many many blocks in the neededReplication queue and computing replication
> work for datanodes once every 3 seconds might consume lots of CPU on namenode.
