Assignee: Kihwal Lee
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> The getMaxNodesPerRack() method in BlockPlacementPolicyDefault is flawed
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-7300
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7300
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Kihwal Lee

> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: HDFS-7300.patch

>
> The {{getMaxNodesPerRack()}} can produce an undesirable result in some cases.
> - Three replicas on two racks. The max is 3, so everything can go to one rack.
> - Two replicas on two or more racks. The max is 2, both replicas can end up
> in the same rack.
> {{BlockManager#isNeededReplication()}} fixes this after block/file is closed
> because {{blockHasEnoughRacks()}} will return fail. This is not only extra
> work, but also can break the favored nodes feature.
> When there are two racks and two favored nodes are specified in the same
> rack, NN may allocate the third replica on a node in the same rack, because
> {{maxNodesPerRack}} is 3. When closing the file, NN moves a block to the
> other rack. There is 66% chance that a favored node is moved. If
> {{maxNodesPerRack}} was 2, this would not happen.
