Hi, I'll start a new cluster to check it again and I'll report it back here. Maybe I can give access as well.
@Yusaku, the decommission looks the same from both triggering from the UI and through the REST API as expected. Generally the decommission should take some time for obvious reasons, but it finished in a few seconds which made me wonder.

Can you please provide information on what was the datanode status as per NameNode JMX metrics when you noticed this behavior? This information will help in debugging the issue further. For checking the decommission status of a node via NameNode jmx metrics, look for LiveNodes key at following url: http://c6401.ambari.apache.org:50070/jmx LiveNodes key keeps the status of each node under "adminState" attribute (In Service | Decommission In Progress | Decommissioned) Note: Decommission can take a while to finish for a moderate amount of data and so it is expected to take more time for 3TB data. If the datanode status was in "Decommission in Progress" at that time then this behavior is expected from HDFS as not all the block copies are moved to other nodes at that time.

Decommission of DataNodes via Ambari should automatically start the process of moving off blocks to other remaining DataNodes to ensure that the replication factor of 3 is reached. How did you trigger decommission on the 5 DataNodes? Once you trigger decommission, Ambari should show the DataNodes as "Decommissioning" if you drill down to the Host Detail page of the said hosts. Decommission process can take a long time, depending on the number of blocks involved. You can also check the NameNode Web UI (available from QuickLinks) to verify that the DataNodes are indeed decommissioning.
