             Summary: Evacuate DN when the remaining is negative
                 Key: HDFS-11257
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-11257
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: datanode
    Affects Versions: 2.7.3
            Reporter: Inigo Goiri


Datanodes have a maximum amount of disk they can use. This is set using 
{{dfs.datanode.du.reserved}}. For example, if we have a 1TB disk and we set the 
reserved to 100GB, the DN can only use ~900GB. However, if we fill the DN and 
later other processes (e.g., logs or co-located services) start to use the disk 
space, the remaining space will go to a negative and the used storage >100%.

The Rebalancer or decommissioning would cover this situation. However, both 
approaches require administrator intervention while this is a situation that 
violates the settings. Note that decommisioning, would be too extreme as it 
would evacuate all the data.
