> We had a balancer that had not made any progress for a long time. It turned
> out it was repeatingly asking Namenode for a partial block list of one
> datanode, which was done while the balancer was running.
> NameNode should notify Balancer that the datanode is not available and
> Balancer should stop asking for the datanode's block list.
