isReplicationInProgress() is very heavyweight ---------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-947 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-947 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Bug Components: dfs Reporter: dhruba borthakur Suppose a decommission is in progress. The namenode receives a heartbeat from the being-decommissioned node and then invokes isReplicationInProgress() to determine if the decommissioned is complete. This method is very heavyweight and chews up plenty of CPU. One option to fix this issue is to keep a counter to indicate how many blocks are pending replication. This could also help in showing a progress-status-indicator to display how far the decommissioning process is complete. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
