Only when no data is stored anymore by a marked datanode the namenode can start the actual removal process, that is removing it from its datastructures and notifying the datanode that it can terminate (this is periodically checked as part of the `getDataNode` RPC). When we just remove that datanode the data it stores is not available anymore. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
