Raghu Angadi updated HADOOP-4116: --------------------------------- Description: The number of threads are currently limited on datanodes. Once these threads are occupied, DataNode does not accept any more requests (DOS). Recently we saw a case where most of the 256 threads were waiting in {{DataXceiver.replaceBlock()}} trying to acquire {{balancingSem}}. Since rebalancing is (heavily) throttled, I would think this would be the common case. These operations waiting for active rebalancing threads to finish need not take up a thread. was: The number of threads are currently limited on datanodes.
