> Not marking datanodes dead When namenode in safemode
> ----------------------------------------------------

> Key: HDFS-1541

> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: name-node
> Affects Versions: 0.23.0
> Reporter: Hairong Kuang
> Assignee: Hairong Kuang
> Fix For: 0.20.204, 0.23.0
>
> Attachments: deadnodescheck.patch, deadnodescheck1.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.
