------------------------------------------
I vote for closing it. Raghu's experiment with deleting 5M files showed no
memory related problems.
> Throttling for HDFS Trash purging
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-1704
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1704
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: dfs
> Reporter: dhruba borthakur
>
> When HDFS Trash is enabled, deletion of a file/directory results in it being
> moved to the "Trash" directory. The "Trash" directory is periodically purged
> by the Namenode. This means that all files/directories that users deleted in
> the last Trash period, gets "really" deleted when the Trash purging occurs.
> This might cause a burst of file/directory deletions.
> The Namenode tracks blocks that belonged to deleted files in a data structure
> named "RecentInvalidateSets". There is a possibility that Trash purging may
> cause this data structure to bloat, causing undesireable behaviour of the
> Namenode.
