Elliott Clark commented on HDFS-9087:
-------------------------------------
Yeah HDFS-8845 makes things better however it still is bad to have anything in
a distributed system that can get multiple machines in sync. Lots of things
happen when a disk is checked and then listed as bad. It's good to have a large
cluster spread out so that nothing lines up.

> If all datanodes are started across a cluster at the same time (or errors in
> the network cause ioexceptions) there can be storms where lots of datanodes
> check their disks at the exact same time.
