--------------------------------------------------------
I did consider the situation you mentioned, But I thought in real env the NN
could find other racks/DNs if it has gone through enough (not all) number of
nodes. But I missed the fact that many tests may only contain few available
DNs, and {{refreshCounter <= excludedNodes.size()}} will be true, also in real
env this also may happen if total number of DNs is few. So the patch should
not be correct for these cases, revert them.

> 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.
