Summary: More Clarity on Namenode UI Around Blocks and Replicas
Key: HDFS-14491
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14491
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Alan Jackoway
I recently deleted more than 1/3 of the files in my HDFS installation. During
the process of the delete, I noticed that the NameNode UI near the top has a
line like this:
{quote}44,031,342 files and directories, 38,988,775 blocks = 83,020,117 total
filesystem object(s).
{quote}
Then lower down had a line like this:
{quote}Number of Blocks Pending Deletion 40000000
{quote}
That made it appear that I was deleting more blocks than exist in the cluster.
When that number was below the total number of blocks, I briefly believed I had
deleted the entire cluster. In reality, the second number includes replicas,
while the first does not.
The UI should be clarified to indicate where "Blocks" includes replicas and
where it doesn't. This may also have an impact on the under-replicated count.
