Pete Wyckoff commented on HADOOP-2991:
--------------------------------------
Raghu/Hairong,
Since this is contentious and I remember it being this way for a long way, why
not define an interface and a default implementation and let people put in
their own impl.
Maybe
public interface CalcDFSFreeSpaceInterface {
long getFreeSpace();
}
and impl =
public CalcDFSFreeSpaceImpl {
CalcDFSFreeSpaceImpl(Conf c, Partition p) { blah blah }
long getFreeSpace() { blah blah }
}
Then keep the current implemetation + the bug fix for DF.getCapacity() and
others can implement it the way they want.
Where Partition is whatever tell it what partition it should be looking at.

> Key: HADOOP-2991
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2991
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: dfs
> Affects Versions: 0.15.0, 0.15.1, 0.15.2, 0.15.3, 0.16.0
> Reporter: Joydeep Sen Sarma
> Priority: Critical
>
> changes for https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1463
> have caused a regression. earlier:
> - we could set dfs.du.reserve to 1G and be *sure* that 1G would not be used.
> now this is no longer true. I am quoting Pete Wyckoff's example:
> <example>
> Let's look at an example. 100 GB disk and /usr using 45 GB and dfs using 50
> GBs now
> Df -kh shows:
> Capacity = 100 GB
> Available = 1 GB (remember ~4 GB chopped out for metadata and stuff)
> Used = 95 GBs
> remaining = 100 GB - 50 GB - 1GB = 49 GB
> Min(remaining, available) = 1 GB
> 98% of which is usable for DFS apparently -
> So, we're at the limit, but are free to use 98% of the remaining 1GB.
> </example>
> this is broke. based on the discussion on 1463 - it seems like the notion of
> 'capacity' as being the first field of 'df' is problematic. For example -
> here's what our df output looks like:
> Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
> /dev/sda3 130G 123G 49M 100% /
> as u can see - 'Size' is a misnomer - that much space is not available.
> Rather the actual usable space is 123G+49M ~ 123G. (not entirely sure what
> the discrepancy is due to - but have heard this may be due to space reserved
> for file system metadata). Because of this discrepancy - we end up in a
> situation where file system is out of space.
