Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1547:
-----------------------------------

One potential issue, not sure if it's realistically a problem: In 
BlockPlacementPolicyDefault, the average load on the cluster is calculated by 
dividing FSN.totalLoad by the number of nodes. Since totalLoad no longer 
includes decomissioning nodes, I wonder whether this could create a situation 
where *all* nodes are considered "overloaded" and we can't allocate new blocks.
