             Summary: Default block placement policy causes 
TestReplaceDataNodeOnFailure to fail intermittently
                 Key: HDFS-9361
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9361
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: HDFS
            Reporter: Wei-Chiu Chuang


TestReplaceDatanodeOnFailure sometimes fail (See HDFS-6101).
(For background information, the test case set up a cluster with three data 
nodes, add two more data nodes, remove one data nodes, and verify that clients 
can correctly recover from the failure and set up three replicas)

I traced down and found that some times a client only set up a pipeline with 
only two data nodes, which is one less than configured in the test case, even 
though the test case configures to always replace failed nodes.

Digging into the log, I saw:

So from the log, I wonder whether this is appropriate or not. If the load 
factor exceeds certain threshold, but the file is insufficient of replicas, 
should it accept it as is, or should it attempt to acquire more replicas?

I am filing this JIRA for discussion.
