Hui Zheng commented on HDFS-7980:
---------------------------------

In our environment there are over 3000 datanodes, 100 million file and 150 
million blocks.
When all the datanodes are working, it will take more than one hour to restart 
the namenode(the time is almost used for block report).
But if we 
first stop all the datanodes,
then restart the namenode,
last start all the datanodes after the namenode finishes loading editlog,
it will only take around 20 minutes. 

> Incremental BlockReport will dramatically slow down the startup of  a namenode

> In the current implementation the datanode will call the 
> reportReceivedDeletedBlocks() method that is a IncrementalBlockReport before 
> calling the bpNamenode.blockReport() method. So in a large(several thousands 
> of datanodes) and busy cluster it will slow down(more than one hour) the 
> startup of namenode.
