Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-9011:
--------------------------------------------
It would be simpler for the admin to create two (or more) storages on the same
drive, and it wouldn't involve any code modification by us.
> Support splitting BlockReport of a storage into multiple RPC

> Currently if a DataNode has too many blocks (more than 1m by default), it
> sends multiple RPC to the NameNode for the block report, each RPC contains
> report for a single storage. However, in practice we've seen sometimes even a
> single storage can contains large amount of blocks and the report even
> exceeds the max RPC data length. It may be helpful to support sending
> multiple RPC for the block report of a storage.
