Yi Liu commented on HDFS-8863:
------------------------------

The patch looks good, thanks Kihwal. 

Agree to check the maximum remaining of storage instead of summing all 
remaining spaces, since we can split a block to multiple storage.
One question is: should we still keep {{getRemaining(StorageType t)}} there? No 
place to call it, so can remove it?

Nits in the test:
{code}
DatanodeStorageInfo si = new DatanodeStorageInfo(
        storages[5].getDatanodeDescriptor(), extraStorage);
{code}
It's unused and can be removed.

{code}
// No available space in the extra storage of dn0
updateHeartbeatForExtraStorage(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L);
{code}
typo in comment:  dn0 should be dn5

It's better to set no available space in the extra storage at the end of 
{{testChooseNodeWithMultipleStorages}}:
{code}
updateHeartbeatForExtraStorage(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L);
{code}


> The remiaing space check in BlockPlacementPolicyDefault is flawed

> The block placement policy calls 
> {{DatanodeDescriptor#getRemaining(StorageType}}}} to check whether the block 
> is going to fit. Since the method is adding up all remaining spaces, namenode 
> can allocate a new block on a full node. This causes pipeline construction 
> failure and {{abandonBlock}}. If the cluster is nearly full, the client might 
> hit this multiple times and the write can fail permanently.
