Allen Wittenauer updated HDFS-8710:
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Status: Resolved (was: Patch Available)
> Always read DU value from the cached "dfsUsed" file on datanode startup

> Currently, DataNode will cache DU value in "dfsUsed" file termly. When
> DataNode starts or restarts, it will read in the cached DU value from
> "dfsUsed" file if the value is less than 600 seconds old, otherwise, it will
> run DU command, which is a very time-consuming operation(may up to dozens of
> minutes) when DataNode has huge number of blocks.
> Since slight imprecision of dfsUsed is not critical, and the DU value will be
> updated every 600 seconds (the default DU interval) after DataNode started,
> we can always read DU value from the cached file (Regardless of whether this
> value is less than 600 seconds old or not) and skip DU operation on DataNode
> startup to significantly shorten the startup time.
