Summary: Recommission a datanode with 500k blocks may pause NN for 30 seconds Key: HDFS-9434 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9434 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Components: namenode Reporter: Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze Assignee: Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze In BlockManager, processOverReplicatedBlocksOnReCommission is called within the namespace lock. There is a (not very useful) log message printed in processOverReplicatedBlock. When there is a large number of blocks stored in a storage, printing the log message for each block can pause NN to process any other operations. We did see that it could pause NN for 30 seconds for a storage with 500k blocks. I suggest to change the log message to trace level as a quick fix. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
