> The namenode restart is dominated by the performance of processing block
> reports. On a 2000 node cluster with 90 million blocks, block report
> processing takes 30 to 40 minutes. The namenode "diffs" the contents of the
> incoming block report with the contents of the blocks map, and then applies
> these diffs to the blocksMap, but in reality there is no need to compute the
> "diff" because this is the first block report from the datanode.
> This code change improves block report processing time by 300%.
