Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HDFS-1332:
----------------------------------------------

- Just found one problem: In the two {{chooseRandom(..)}} methods (line 333-363 
and line 378-422), if the first {{FSNamesystem.LOG.isDebugEnabled()}} return 
false and the second {{FSNamesystem.LOG.isDebugEnabled()}} returns true, we 
will have a {{NullPointerException}} since {{builder}} is null.  We should 
check null for the second if-statement.

- There are repeated "Not able to place enough replicas" in the log message.  I 
think we might have {{new NotEnoughReplicasException(detail)}} and then use 
{{"\n" + e}} instead of {{"\n" + e.getMessage()}} in {{LOG.warn(..)}}.  Then, 
the log will become something like
{noformat}

> 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.
