Íñigo Goiri commented on HDFS-15634:
------------------------------------

The proposal makes sense.
The only issue is that at the scale that this would matter, it may have some 
weird side effects.
Do you have a WIP patch to see what this would look like?

> Right now when a DataNode starts decommission, Namenode will mark it as 
> decommissioning and its blocks will be replicated over to different 
> DataNodes, then marked as decommissioned. These blocks are not touched since 
> they are not counted as live replicas.
> Proposal: Invalidate these blocks once they are replicated and there are 
> enough live replicas in the cluster.
> Reason: A recent shutdown of decommissioned datanodes to finished the flow 
> caused Namenode latency spike since namenode needs to remove all of the 
> blocks from its memory and this step requires holding write lock. If we have 
> gradually invalidated these blocks the deletion will be much easier and 
> faster.
