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.

These waiting threads need not take up a thread. 

        Summary: DataNode : idle rebalancing operations need not take up 
threads.  (was: DataNode : idle rebalancing threads need not take up threads.)
