Daryn Sharp commented on HDFS-10301:
------------------------------------

Catching up, in my sample patch I think the logic should have been in 
{{fsn#blockReport}} instead of {{bm#processReport}}.  I had hastily created it 
for example.

Now consider that we are really trying to bandaid an edge case caused by 
multi-storage reports.  I think we should also change the DN to going forward 
always send per-storage reports.  We had to switch to per-storage reports a 
long time ago to avoid all kinds of issues, particularly at startup.  Ex. callq 
overflows, extremely high gc rate/time, full GCs, etc.

> BlockReport retransmissions may lead to storages falsely being declared 
> zombie if storage report processing happens out of order

> When NameNode is busy a DataNode can timeout sending a block report. Then it 
> sends the block report again. Then NameNode while process these two reports 
> at the same time can interleave processing storages from different reports. 
> This screws up the blockReportId field, which makes NameNode think that some 
> storages are zombie. Replicas from zombie storages are immediately removed, 
> causing missing blocks.
