Matt Foley commented on HDFS-1295:
----------------------------------
Response to Hudson QA auto-test of 12/Apr/11 00:14 (PreCommit-HDFS-Build/346):
Of the four failing tests, two are our old friends hdfsproxy, unrelated to this
Jira.
One
(TestFileConcurrentReader.testUnfinishedBlockCRCErrorNormalTransferVerySmallWrite)
is three days old, and unrelated to this Jira.
The fourth, TestDatanodeBlockScanner.testTruncatedBlockReport, needs to be
investigated, but is likely to also be a test issue rather than a bug in the
patch.
Also, I found that the patch for HDFS-1829 should be modified to use readLock()
instead of synchronized(namesystem).
These are likely to be small changes, while the main patch to BlockManager is
fairly large, and likely to be unchanged by the fix to
TestDatanodeBlockScanner.testTruncatedBlockReport.
Therefore, please consider starting code review if you are so inclined, so that
we can complete this submission soon. Thank you very much.

> The namenode restart is dominated by the performance of processing block
> reports. On a 2000 node cluster with 90 million blocks, block report
> processing takes 30 to 40 minutes. The namenode "diffs" the contents of the
> incoming block report with the contents of the blocks map, and then applies
> these diffs to the blocksMap, but in reality there is no need to compute the
> "diff" because this is the first block report from the datanode.
> This code change improves block report processing time by 300%.
