Jean-Daniel Cryans created HDFS-4137: ----------------------------------------
Summary: BlockManager.chooseTarget's error message can be confusing Key: HDFS-4137 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4137 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 2.0.2-alpha Reporter: Jean-Daniel Cryans Fix For: 2.0.3-alpha Consider this message: bq. org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException(java.io.IOException): File *somefile* could only be replicated to 0 nodes instead of minReplication (=1). There are 1 datanode(s) running and no node(s) are excluded in this operation. Obviously a node was excluded but not in the sense that the Datanode treats it. Considering that this is a message that noobs will see a lot, making it clearer will be a win. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
