Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-7325:
--------------------------------------------
bq. The < above should be <=.
One tricky thing here is that the patch moves this block after the
{{numAllocated--}}. So I believe this should be correct...
bq. How about simply including the change in HDFS-7358 and resolving this?
OK.

> Currently ByteArrayManager wakes all waiting threads whenever a byte array is
> released and count == limit. However, only one thread can proceed. With a
> large number of waiters, this will cause a thundering herd problem. (See
> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thundering_herd_problem.) We should avoid this
> by only waking a single thread.
