>
> When all the nodes containing a replica of a block are decommissioned while 
> they are dead, they get decommissioned right away even if there are missing 
> blocks. This behavior was introduced by HDFS-7374.
> The problem starts when those decommissioned nodes are brought back online. 
> The namenode no longer shows missing blocks, which creates a false sense of 
> cluster health. When the decommissioned nodes are removed and reformatted, 
> the block data is permanently lost. The namenode will report missing blocks 
> after the heartbeat recheck interval (e.g. 10 minutes) from the moment the 
> last node is taken down.
> There are multiple issues in the code. As some cause different behaviors in 
> testing vs. production, it took a while to reproduce it in a unit test. I 
> will present analysis and proposal soon.
