--------------------------------
Hadoop Flags: Reviewed
+1 for the patch. Thanks, Arpit!

> When the number of blocks on the DataNode grows large we start running into a
> few issues:
> # Block reports take a long time to process on the NameNode. In testing we
> have seen that a block report with 6 Million blocks takes close to one second
> to process on the NameNode. The NameSystem write lock is held during this
> time.
> # We start hitting the default protobuf message limit of 64MB somewhere
> around 10 Million blocks. While we can increase the message size limit it
> already takes over 7 seconds to serialize/unserialize a block report of this
> size.
> HDFS-2832 has introduced the concept of a DataNode as a collection of
> storages i.e. the NameNode is aware of all the volumes (storage directories)
> attached to a given DataNode. This makes it easy to split block reports from
> the DN by sending one report per storage directory to mitigate the above
> problems.
