Heartbeats times from Datanodes increase when there are plenty of blocks to delete ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-611 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-611 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: data-node Reporter: dhruba borthakur Assignee: dhruba borthakur I am seeing that when we delete a large directory that has plenty of blocks, the heartbeat times from datanodes increase significantly from the normal value of 3 seconds to as large as 50 seconds or so. The heartbeat thread in the Datanode deletes a bunch of blocks sequentially, this causes the heartbeat times to increase. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
