---------------------------

             Summary: BlockPlacementPolicyWithNodeGroup can place multiple 
replicas on the same node group when dfs.namenode.avoid.write.stale.datanode is 
true
                 Key: HDFS-5828
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5828
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: namenode
    Affects Versions: 2.4.0
            Reporter: Buddy


When placing replicas using the replica placement policy 
BlockPlacementPolicyWithNodeGroup, the number of targets returned should be 
less than or equal to the number of node groups and no node group should get 
two replicas of the same block. The Junit test 
TestReplicationPolicyWithNodeGroup.testChooseMoreTargetsThanNodeGroups verifies 
this.

However, if the conf property "dfs.namenode.avoid.write.stale.datanode" is set 
to true, then block placement policy will return more targets than node groups 
when the number of replicas requested exceeds the number of node groups.

This can be seen by putting:
       CONF.setBoolean(DFS_NAMENODE_AVOID_STALE_DATANODE_FOR_WRITE_KEY, true);

in the setup method for TestReplicationPolicyWithNodeGroup. This will cause 
testChooseMoreTargetsThanNodeGroups to fail.
