Inigo Goiri commented on HDFS-11257:
------------------------------------

The proposal would be for the {{BlockManager}} to check for this situation and 
leverage the code in {{blockHasEnoughRacks()}} to mark blocks as needing 
replicas in other nodes. Once that's done, the block placement policy would 
mark the blocks in machine with {{getRemaining()<0}} for deletion.

> Evacuate DN when the remaining is negative

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: datanode
>    Affects Versions: 2.7.3

> Datanodes have a maximum amount of disk they can use. This is set using 
> {{dfs.datanode.du.reserved}}. For example, if we have a 1TB disk and we set 
> the reserved to 100GB, the DN can only use ~900GB. However, if we fill the DN 
> and later other processes (e.g., logs or co-located services) start to use 
> the disk space, the remaining space will go to a negative and the used 
> storage >100%.
> The Rebalancer or decommissioning would cover this situation. However, both 
> approaches require administrator intervention while this is a situation that 
> violates the settings. Note that decommisioning, would be too extreme as it 
> would evacuate all the data.
