Wang Xu commented on HDFS-839:
------------------------------

For multiple BN, I think pipeline is unacceptable in performance.

And I agree if DN report to NN could have better performance against the design 
that NN sync to BN. But will the under-replicate/invalid block status will 
matter?

And can we introduce multcast for multiple NN solution? it may decrease the 
network overhead. The issue is that multicast do not provide any guarantee.

> The NameNode should forward block reports to BackupNode

> The BackupNode (via HADOOP-4539) receives a stream of transactions from 
> NameNode. However, the BackupNode does not have block locations of blocks. It 
> would be nice if the NameNode can forward all block reports (that it receives 
> from DataNodes) to the BackupNode.
