Kihwal Lee commented on HDFS-6425:
----------------------------------
Did you have a chance to analyze the cause of the large number of
over-replication? It might be due to the race between completeFile and
incremental block reports. If a file is closed with just min_replicas and the
replication monitor runs before all the rest of incremental block reports are
received, replication will be scheduled and this will lead to over-replication.

> Sometimes we have large number of over replicates when NN fails over. When
> the new active NN took over, over replicated blocks will be put to
> postponedMisreplicatedBlocks until all DNs for that block aren't stale
> anymore.
> We have a case where NNs flip flop. Before postponedMisreplicatedBlocks
> became empty, NN fail over again and again. So postponedMisreplicatedBlocks
> just kept increasing until the cluster is stable.
> In addition, large postponedMisreplicatedBlocks could make
> rescanPostponedMisreplicatedBlocks slow. rescanPostponedMisreplicatedBlocks
> takes write lock. So it could slow down the block report processing.
