    Assignee:     (was: Harsh J)

> Decommissioning never ends when node to decommission has blocks that are 
> under-replicated and cannot be replicated to the expected level of replication

>                 Key: HDFS-1590
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1590
>             Project: Hadoop HDFS
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: namenode
>    Affects Versions: 0.20.2
>         Environment: Linux
>            Reporter: Mathias Herberts
>            Priority: Minor
>
> On a test cluster with 4 DNs and a default repl level of 3, I recently 
> attempted to decommission one of the DNs. Right after the modification of the 
> dfs.hosts.exclude file and the 'dfsadmin -refreshNodes', I could see the 
> blocks being replicated to other nodes.
> After a while, the replication stopped but the node was not marked as 
> decommissioned.
> When running an 'fsck -files -blocks -locations' I saw that all files had a 
> replication of 4 (which is logical given there are 4 DNs), but some of the 
> files had an expected replication set to 10 (those were job.jar files from 
> M/R jobs).
> I ran 'fs -setrep 3' on those files and shortly after the namenode reported 
> the DN as decommissioned.
> Shouldn't this case be checked by the NameNode when decommissioning a node? 
> I.e considere a node decommissioned if either one of the following is true 
> for each block on the node being decommissioned:
> 1. It is replicated more than the expected replication level.
> 2. It is replicated as much as possible given the available nodes, even 
> though it is less replicated than expected.
