Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1332:
-----------------------------------
I don't think restricting nice error messages to the case when the NN is in
debug mode is a good idea. We should endeavor to always have error messages
that provide enough information to the user to understand and rectify the
problem. New users are unlikely to know the tricks to switch over to debug mode
using the cryptic "daemonlog" interface, and new users are the ones who need
nice errors the most.

> 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.
