Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze commented on HDFS-7980:
-------------------------------------------

As mentioned by [~huizane] in the description, the problem seems that 
blockReport() may send an incremental block report by 
reportReceivedDeletedBlocks() before sending the full report.  In that case, NN 
treats the incremental block report as the first block report but not the full 
report.  The processing time for the full report is increased dramatically.

> 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.
