Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-2379: --------------------------------------- Comments: # In the new version of the patch, FSDatasetInterface.java changes are missing. Also asynchronous scan thread change is missing as well. Want to make sure that it is intentional. #* There are some lines that are more than 80 chars. # FSDataset.java #* Why do you want to deprecate #getBlockInfo()? If you have a valid reason, can you please add information on the new method/mechanism that should be used instead of the deprecated method. #* Add javadoc to scanBlockFilesInconsistent() - add info about why it is not synchronized. #* SANITY_CHECK code can be removed. #* reconcileInconsistentDiskScan #** What happens to cases when volumeMap contains block but scanned block File does not exist or scanned block file exists but volumeMap does not contain it? #** In the end, the scanned block info is made to look same as the in memory state. I am just wondering, what is the need of the scan then? > 0.20: Allow block reports to proceed without holding FSDataset lock > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-2379 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2379 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: data-node > Affects Versions: 0.20.206.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Priority: Critical > Attachments: hdfs-2379.txt, hdfs-2379.txt, hdfs-2379.txt, > hdfs-2379.txt > > > As disks are getting larger and more plentiful, we're seeing DNs with > multiple millions of blocks on a single machine. When page cache space is > tight, block reports can take multiple minutes to generate. Currently, during > the scanning of the data directories to generate a report, the FSVolumeSet > lock is held. This causes writes and reads to block, timeout, etc, causing > big problems especially for clients like HBase. > This JIRA is to explore some of the ideas originally discussed in HADOOP-4584 > for the 0.20.20x series. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
