Íñigo Goiri commented on HDFS-13183:
------------------------------------
I came across this JIRA and I had a similar use case.
For HDFS-13488, I tried to add an exception to trigger the failover.
Initially, I tried extending {{StandbyException}} as I expected it to be
identified by the retry policy and switch to the next NN.
However, for the current client, the exception must be StandbyException and not
a subclass.
I think it would be better to add a new exception type (or probably interface)
that could be subclassed and the RetryPolicy would identify it as a trigger for
a failover.
If we have that mechanism, we could make this generic and the
ActiveDenyOfServiceException would only need to implement this failover
exception.

> The performance of Active NameNode could be impact when {{Balancer}} requests
> #getBlocks, since query blocks of overly full DNs performance is extremely
> inefficient currently. The main reason is {{NameNodeRpcServer#getBlocks}}
> hold read lock for long time. In extreme case, all handlers of Active
> NameNode RPC server are occupied by one reader
> {{NameNodeRpcServer#getBlocks}} and other write operation calls, thus Active
> NameNode enter a state of false death for number of seconds even for minutes.
> The similar performance concerns of Balancer have reported by HDFS-9412,
> HDFS-7967, etc.
> If Standby NameNode can shoulder #getBlocks heavy burden, it could speed up
> the progress of balancing and reduce performance impact to Active NameNode.
