Ted Yu commented on HDFS-1332:
------------------------------

I added a new test in TestDecommission:
{code}
  @Test
  public void testDecommissionForReasonableExceptionMsg() throws IOException {
    startCluster(1, 2, conf);
    FileSystem fileSys = cluster.getFileSystem(0);

    // Decommission one node. Verify that node is decommissioned.
    DatanodeInfo decomNode = decommissionNode(0, null,
        AdminStates.DECOMMISSIONED);
    Path file1 = new Path("testDecommission.dat");
    try {
      writeFile(fileSys, file1, 2);
    } catch (Exception nere) {
      String msg = nere.getMessage();
      assertTrue("Expected detail about not enough replicas",
          msg.contains("is not chosen"));
    }
  }
{code}
But the NotEnoughReplicasException is caught by chooseTarget().
At least I saw the following:
{code}
11/05/11 15:54:58 WARN namenode.FSNamesystem: Not able to place enough 
replicas, still in need of 1 to reach 2
Not able to place enough replicas.[127.0.0.1:50055: Node 
/default-rack/127.0.0.1:50055 is not chosen because the node is (being) 
decommissioned ]
{code}

> When unable to place replicas, BlockPlacementPolicy should log reasons nodes 
> were excluded

> Whenever the block placement policy determines that a node is not a "good 
> target" it could add the reason for exclusion to a list, and then when we log 
> "Not able to place enough replicas" we could say why each node was refused. 
> This would help new users who are having issues on pseudo-distributed (eg 
> because their data dir is on /tmp and /tmp is full). Right now it's very 
> difficult to figure out the issue.
