Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-4116:
---------------------------------------

I agree that KA does not detect dead apps on the other side. Besides timeouts, 
is there any good solution to this problem?

Balancer limits at most 5 concurrent connections from itself to a DataNode, so 
too many KAs should not be a concern.

> Balancer should provide better resource management

> 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.
