I use hadoop-2.0.3. I find when on block is over-replicated, the replicas to be add to excessReplicateMap attribute of Blockmanager. But when the block is deleted or the block has the intended number of replicas, the replicas is not deleted form excessReplicateMap attribute.
I think this is bug. If my understand may be wrong, please anyboy tell me when to delete replicas form excessReplicateMap attribute?
