Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-1547: --------------------------------------- Current mechanism requires both files to be in include and exclude. The purpose of include is to list datanodes that needs to be tracked by the namenode. Without this, namenode does not know the datanodes that could connect to it and hence cannot show dead node list if the datanode never registered with it. Similarly the nodes in decom list are in include also. > Improve decommission mechanism > ------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-1547 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1547 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: name-node > Affects Versions: 0.23.0 > Reporter: Suresh Srinivas > Assignee: Suresh Srinivas > Fix For: 0.23.0 > > > Current decommission mechanism driven using exclude file has several issues. > This bug proposes some changes in the mechanism for better manageability.
