Jing Zhao commented on HDFS-8881:
---------------------------------

Thanks for the fix, Walter! The patch looks good to me overall. Some comments:
# We can put the following conditions into a single function
{code}
+    if (numCurrentReplica > fileReplication
+        || (storedBlock.isStriped() && numCurrentReplica == fileReplication
+        && hasOverReplicatedLiveInternalBlock(storedBlock))) {
{code}
# For {{hasOverReplicatedLiveInternalBlock}}, maybe we only need to check 
{{BlockInfoStriped#triplets}} or {{indices}}. Currently all the redundant 
internal replicas start from index 9 in triplets/indices. Maybe we can define a 
function inside of {{BlockInfoStriped}}, which utilizes this logic to check if 
any internal block has redundant replicas. Then 
{{hasOverReplicatedLiveInternalBlock}} can call this function to check.

> Erasure Coding: internal blocks got missed and got over-replicated at the 
> same time

> We know the Repl checking depends on {{BlockManager#countNodes()}}, but 
> countNodes() has limitation for striped blockGroup.
> *One* missing internal block will be catched by Repl checking, and handled by 
> ReplicationMonitor.
> *One* over-replicated internal block will be catched by Repl checking, and 
> handled by processOverReplicatedBlocks.
> *One* missing internal block and *two* over-replicated internal blocks *at 
> the same time* will be catched by Repl checking, and handled by 
> processOverReplicatedBlocks, later by ReplicationMonitor.
> *One* missing internal block and *One* over-replicated internal block *at the 
> same time* will *NOT* be catched by Repl checking.
> "at the same time" means one missing internal block can't be recovered, and 
> one internal block got over-replicated anyway. For example:
> scenario A:
> step 1. block #0 and #1 are reported missing.
> 2. a new #1 got recovered.
> 3. the old #1 come back, and the recovery work for #0 failed.
> scenario B:
> 1. An DN decommissioned/dead which has #1.
> 2. block #0 is reported missing.
> 3. The DN has #1 recommisioned, and the recovery work for #0 failed.
> In the end, the blockGroup has \[1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8\], assume 6+3 
> schema. Client always needs to decode #0 if the blockGroup doesn't get 
> handled.
