Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-1172:
-------------------------------------------
I think this makes a lot of sense. Putting r2 into pending replication is
correct as NN knows the replication (via pipeline) is in progress. This is
exactly what is needed.
> Blocks in newly completed files are considered under-replicated too quickly

> I've seen this for a long time, and imagine it's a known issue, but couldn't
> find an existing JIRA. It often happens that we see the NN schedule
> replication on the last block of files very quickly after they're completed,
> before the other DNs in the pipeline have a chance to report the new block.
> This results in a lot of extra replication work on the cluster, as we
> replicate the block and then end up with multiple excess replicas which are
> very quickly deleted.
