> Currently I noticed that we are just returning null if block already exists
> in pendingReplications in replication flow for striped blocks.
> {code}
> if (block.isStriped()) {
> if (pendingNum > 0) {
> // Wait the previous recovery to finish.
> return null;
> }
> {code}
> Here if we just return null and if neededReplications contains only fewer
> blocks(basically by default if less than numliveNodes*2), then same blocks
> can be picked again from neededReplications from next loop as we are not
> removing element from neededReplications. Since this replication process need
> to take fsnamesystmem lock and do, we may spend some time unnecessarily in
> every loop.
> So my suggestion/improvement is:
> Instead of just returning null, how about incrementing pendingReplications
> for this block and remove from neededReplications? and also another point to
> consider here is, to add into pendingReplications, generally we need target
> and it is nothing but to which node we issued replication command. Later when
> after replication success and DN reported it, block will be removed from
> pendingReplications from NN addBlock.
> So since this is newly picked block from neededReplications, we would not
> have selected target yet. So which target to be passed to pendingReplications
> if we add this block? One Option I am thinking is, how about just passing
> srcNode itself as target for this special condition? So, anyway if the block
> is really missed, srcNode will not report it. So this block will not be
> removed from pending replications, so that when it is timed out, it will be
> considered for replication again and that time it will find actual target to
> replicate while processing as part of regular replication flow.
