Lukas Majercak created HDFS-12288: ------------------------------------- Summary: Change DN xceiver count calculation Key: HDFS-12288 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-12288 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: datanode, hdfs Reporter: Lukas Majercak Assignee: Lukas Majercak
The problem with the ThreadGroup.activeCount() method is that the method is only a very rough estimate, and in reality returns the total number of threads in the thread group as opposed to the threads actually running. In some DNs, we saw this to return 50~ for a long time, even though the actual number of DataXceiver threads was next to none. This is a big issue as we use the xceiverCount to make decisions on the NN for choosing replication source DN or returning DNs to clients for R/W. The plan is to reuse the DataNodeMetrics.dataNodeActiveXceiversCount value which only accounts for actual number of DataXcevier threads currently running and thus represents the load on the DN much better. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-dev-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-dev-h...@hadoop.apache.org
