Jing Zhao commented on HDFS-8999:
---------------------------------
Another question is whether we should update the new logic from HDFS-1172 and
HDFS-9535. In HDFS-1172, we add the replica to the pending queue only when
there are already >=1 live replicas. Now since the client can close the file
without waiting for the IBR, we will add the block into the UnderReplicated
queue with {{QUEUE_WITH_CORRUPT_BLOCKS}} priority. I think maybe we should
still put the block into the pending queue in this scenario.
> Namenode need not wait for {{blockReceived}} for the last block before
> completing a file.

> ...whether we need to let NameNode wait for all the block_received msgs to
> announce the replica is safe. Looking into the code, now we have
> # NameNode knows the DataNodes involved when initially setting up the
> writing pipeline
> # If any DataNode fails during the writing, client bumps the GS and
> finally reports all the DataNodes included in the new pipeline to NameNode
> through the updatePipeline RPC.
> # When the client received the ack for the last packet of the block (and
> before the client tries to close the file on NameNode), the replica has been
> finalized in all the DataNodes.
> Then in this case, when NameNode receives the close request from the client,
> the NameNode already knows the latest replicas for the block. Currently the
> checkReplication call only counts in all the replicas that NN has already
> received the block_received msg, but based on the above #2 and #3, it may be
> safe to also count in all the replicas in the
> BlockUnderConstructionFeature#replicas?
