Arun Ramakrishnan commented on HDFS-1125:
-----------------------------------------
related to step c. when would one know if decom is finished ?
Also i suppose you can remove from excludes same time you remove from slaves
files ?
> Removing a datanode (failed or decommissioned) should not require a namenode
> restart

> Key: HDFS-1125
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1125
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: name-node
> Affects Versions: 0.20.2
> Reporter: Alex Loddengaard
> Priority: Minor
>
> I've heard of several Hadoop users using dfsadmin -report to monitor the
> number of dead nodes, and alert if that number is not 0. This mechanism
> tends to work pretty well, except when a node is decommissioned or fails,
> because then the namenode requires a restart for said node to be entirely
> removed from HDFS. More details here:
> http://markmail.org/search/?q=decommissioned%20node%20showing%20up%20ad%20dead%20node%20in%20web%20based%09interface%20to%20namenode#query:decommissioned%20node%20showing%20up%20ad%20dead%20node%20in%20web%20based%09interface%20to%20namenode+page:1+mid:7gwqwdkobgfuszb4+state:results
> Removal from the exclude file and a refresh should get rid of the dead node.
