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. > 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 > > Attachments: HDFS-1547.1.patch, HDFS-1547.patch > > > Current decommission mechanism driven using exclude file has several issues. > This bug proposes some changes in the mechanism for better manageability.
