Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-1541: --------------------------------------- I committed the patch to branch-0.20-security > Not marking datanodes dead When namenode in safemode > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1541 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1541 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: name-node > Affects Versions: 0.23.0 > Reporter: Hairong Kuang > Assignee: Hairong Kuang > Fix For: 0.23.0 > > Attachments: deadnodescheck.patch, deadnodescheck1.patch, > deadnodescheck1_0.20-security.patch > > > In a big cluster, when namenode starts up, it takes a long time for namenode > to process block reports from all datanodes. Because heartbeats processing > get delayed, some datanodes are erroneously marked as dead, then later on > they have to register again, thus wasting time. > It would speed up starting time if the checking of dead nodes is disabled > when namenode in safemode. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
