> Key: HDFS-140
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-140
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.20.1
> Reporter: dhruba borthakur
> Assignee: Uma Maheswara Rao G
>
> When a file is deleted, the namenode sends out block deletions messages to
> the appropriate datanodes. However, the namenode does not delete these blocks
> from the blocksmap. Instead, the processing of the next block report from the
> datanode causes these blocks to get removed from the blocksmap.
> If we desire to make block report processing less frequent, this issue needs
> to be addressed. Also, this introduces indeterministic behaviout to a a few
> unit tests. Another factor to consider is to ensure that duplicate block
> detection is not compromised.
