Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1332:
-----------------------------------

I think there's some confusion what Nicholas's suggestion is. Is it (a) that we 
use the log level to decide whether to add detail to the exception message? or 
(b) that we don't change the exception message at all, but rather add debug 
level messages for each of the cases where a node is ignored?

> When unable to place replicas, BlockPlacementPolicy should log reasons nodes 
> were excluded

> Whenever the block placement policy determines that a node is not a "good 
> target" it could add the reason for exclusion to a list, and then when we log 
> "Not able to place enough replicas" we could say why each node was refused. 
> This would help new users who are having issues on pseudo-distributed (eg 
> because their data dir is on /tmp and /tmp is full). Right now it's very 
> difficult to figure out the issue.
