> Delay second Block Reports until after cluster finishes startup, to improve
> startup times

> Key: HDFS-1767

> Reporter: Matt Foley

> Fix For: 0.23.0

> Consider a large cluster that takes 40 minutes to start up. The datanodes
> compete to register and send their Initial Block Reports (IBRs) as fast as
> they can after startup (subject to a small sub-two-minute random delay, which
> isn't relevant to this discussion).
> As each datanode succeeds in sending its IBR, it schedules the starting time
> for its regular cycle of reports, every hour (or other configured value of
> dfs.blockreport.intervalMsec). In order to spread the reports evenly across
> the block report interval, each datanode picks a random fraction of that
> interval, for the starting point of its regular report cycle. For example,
> if a particular datanode ends up randomly selecting 18 minutes after the
> hour, then that datanode will send a Block Report at 18 minutes after the
> hour every hour as long as it remains up. Other datanodes will start their
> cycles at other randomly selected times. This code is in
> DataNode.blockReport() and DataNode.scheduleBlockReport().
> The "second Block Report" (2BR), is the start of these hourly reports. The
> problem is that some of these 2BRs get scheduled sooner rather than later,
> and actually occur within the startup period. For example, if the cluster
> takes 40 minutes (2/3 of an hour) to start up, then out of the datanodes that
> succeed in sending their IBRs during the first 10 minutes, between 1/2 and
> 2/3 of them will send their 2BR before the 40-minute startup time has
> completed!
> 2BRs sent within the startup time actually compete with the remaining IBRs,
> and thereby slow down the overall startup process. This can be seen in the
> following data, which shows the startup process for a 3700-node cluster that
> took about 17 minutes to finish startup:

> This data was harvested from the startup logs of all the datanodes, and
> correlated into one-minute buckets. Each row of the table represents the
> progress during one elapsed minute of clock time. It seems that every
> cluster startup is different, but this one showed the effect fairly well.
> The "starts" column shows that all the nodes started up within the first 2
> minutes, and the "regs" column shows that all succeeded in registering by
> minute 6. The IBR column shows a sustained rate of Initial Block Report
> processing of 250-300/minute for the first 10 minutes.
> The question is why, during minutes 11 through 16, the rate of IBR processing
> slowed down. Why didn't the startup just finish? In the "2nd_BR" column, we
> see the rate of 2BRs ramping up as more datanodes complete their IBRs. As
> the rate increases, they become more effective at competing with the IBRs,
> and slow down the IBR processing even more. After the IBRs finally finish in
> minute 16, the rate of 2BRs settles down to a steady ~60-70/minute.
> In order to decrease competition for locks and other resources, to speed up
> IBR processing during startup, we propose to delay 2BRs until later into the
> cycle.
