>
> When a large number of nodes are removed by refreshing node lists, the
> network topology is updated. If the refresh happens at the right moment, the
> replication monitor thread may stuck in the while loop of {{chooseRandom()}}.
> This is because the cached cluster size is used in the terminal condition
> check of the loop. This usually happens when a block with a high replication
> factor is being processed. Since replicas/rack is also calculated beforehand,
> no node choice may satisfy the goodness criteria if refreshing removed racks.
> All nodes will end up in the excluded list, but the size will still be less
> than the cached cluster size, so it will loop infinitely. This was observed
> in a production environment.
