Uma Maheswara Rao G commented on HDFS-2452: ------------------------------------------- Thanks Cos for taking a look. Ok then, shall we make the changes same as trunk? @ Konstantin Shvachko: Before going, one more question is , we made the maxXeivercount check after starting the thread. {code} // Make sure the xceiver count is not exceeded int curXceiverCount = datanode.getXceiverCount(); if (curXceiverCount > dataXceiverServer.maxXceiverCount) { throw new IOException("xceiverCount " + curXceiverCount + " exceeds the limit of concurrent xcievers " + dataXceiverServer.maxXceiverCount); } {code} in your case, whether system is not able to handle configured thread count itself? And also, can we move this check before starting the new thread?
