Walter Su commented on HDFS-10301:
----------------------------------
I like your idea of counting storages with same reportId, and no purge if
there's any interleaving. I guest {{rpcsSeen}} can be removed or replaced by
{{storagesSeen}}?
Processing the retransmissioned reports is kind of wasting resource. I think
the best approach is as Colin said, "to remove existing DataNode storage report
RPCs with the old ID from the queue when we receive one with a new block report
ID." Let's consider it as an optimization in another jira.
> BlockReport retransmissions may lead to storages falsely being declared
> zombie if storage report processing happens out of order

> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: namenode
> Affects Versions: 2.6.1
> Reporter: Konstantin Shvachko

>
> When NameNode is busy a DataNode can timeout sending a block report. Then it
> sends the block report again. Then NameNode while process these two reports
> at the same time can interleave processing storages from different reports.
> This screws up the blockReportId field, which makes NameNode think that some
> storages are zombie. Replicas from zombie storages are immediately removed,
> causing missing blocks.
