> {{getBlocks}} in {{NameNodeRpcServer}} acquires a read lock then may take a 
> long time to complete (probably several seconds, if number of blocks are too 
> much). 
> During this period, other threads attempting to acquire write lock will wait. 
> In an extreme case, RPC handlers are occupied by one reader thread calling 
> {{getBlocks}} and all other threads waiting for write lock, rpc server acts 
> like hung. Unfortunately, this tends to happen in heavy loaded cluster, since 
> read operations come and go fast (they do not need to wait), leaving write 
> operations waiting.
> Looks like we can optimize this thing like DN block report did in past, by 
> splitting the operation into smaller sub operations, and let other threads do 
> their work between each sub operation. The whole result is returned at once, 
> though (one thing different from DN block report). 
> I am not sure whether this will work. Any better idea?
