Íñigo Goiri commented on HDFS-12778:
------------------------------------

Can we add explicit unit tests for corner cases like:
# Only one DN with PROVIDED
# Less DNs with PROVIDED than default replication
# More blocks than DNs (trying to fill the excluded nodes)

Should we make the block locations deterministic to some degree?
I can see two mappers trying to accessing the same block and in that way some 
caching could be done.

> On {{getBlockLocations}}, only one Datanode is returned as the location for 
> all PROVIDED blocks. This can hurt the performance of applications which 
> typically 3 locations per block. We need to return multiple Datanodes for 
> each PROVIDED block for better application performance/resilience.
