Andrew Wang updated HDFS-7960:

Attachment: HDFS-7960.004.patch
The patch application worked when I specified "--3way" without conflicts, so
here's the .003 after I did that. No other changes.

> The full block report should prune zombie storages even if they're not empty.
> We have seen cases in production where zombie storages have not been pruned
> subsequent to HDFS-7575. This could arise any time the NameNode thinks there
> is a block in some old storage which is actually not there. In this case,
> the block will not show up in the "new" storage (once old is renamed to new)
> and the old storage will linger forever as a zombie, even with the HDFS-7596
> fix applied. This also happens with datanode hotplug, when a drive is
> removed. In this case, an entire storage (volume) goes away but the blocks
> do not show up in another storage on the same datanode.
