Raghu Angadi updated HADOOP-5724: --------------------------------- Component/s: dfs Issue Type: Improvement (was: Bug) Hadoop Flags: [Incompatible change, Reviewed] (was: [Incompatible change]) +1 for the patch. > Datanode should report deletion of blocks to Namenode explicitly > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5724 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5724 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: dfs > Reporter: Suresh Srinivas > Assignee: Suresh Srinivas > Fix For: 0.21.0 > > Attachments: blockdel-1.patch, blockdel-2.patch, blockdel.patch, > blockdel.patch > > > Currently datanode notifies namenode newly added blocks and the blocks that > are corrupt. There is no explicit message from the datanode to the namenode > to indicate the deletion of blocks. Block reports from the datanode is the > only way for the namenode to learn about the deletion of blocks at a > datanode. With the addition of explicit request to indicate to block > deletion, block report interval (which is currently 1 hour) can be increased > to a longer duration. This reduces load on both namenode and datanodes. > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
