dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-1300:
------------------------------------------
HADOOP-1269 moves chooseTargets outside the FSNamesystem global lock. Is it
possible to adopt a similar approach to chooseExcessReplicates too? This might
be helpful because this algorithm might be heavy on CPU usage, especially in
the (rare?) case when there are many excess replicas.
> deletion of excess replicas does not take into account 'rack-locality'

>
> One rack went down today, resulting in one missing block/file.
> Looking at the log, this block was originally over-replicated.
> 3 replicas on one rack and 1 replica on another.
> Namenode decided to delete the latter, leaving 3 replicas on the same rack.
> It'll be nice if the deletion is also rack-aware.
