>             Project: Hadoop HDFS
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: hdfs-client, namenode

> In current implementation, if we need to decommissioning or recommissioning 
> one datanode, the only way is add the datanode to include or exclude file 
> under namenode configuration path then execute command `bin/hadoop dfsadmin 
> -refreshNodes` and trigger namenode to reload include/exclude and start to 
> recommissioning or decommissioning datanode.
> The shortcomings of this approach is that:
> a. namenode reload include/exclude configuration file from devices, if I/O 
> load is high, handler may be blocked.
> b. namenode has to process every datnodes in include and exclude 
> configurations, if there are many datanodes (very common for large cluster) 
> pending to process, namenode will be hung for hundred seconds to wait 
> recommision/decommision finish at the worst since holding write lock.
> I think we should expose one lightweight interface to support recommissioning 
> or decommissioning single datanode, thus we can operate datanode using 
> dfsadmin more smooth.
