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.
