Wei-Chiu Chuang commented on HDFS-14491:
----------------------------------------

I'm not sure about this one.
Looking at the code, we doesn't count replica numbers. It counts the unique 
blocks.
{code}
/**
   * Add a block to the block collection which will be
   * invalidated on the specified datanode.
   */
  synchronized void add(final Block block, final DatanodeInfo datanode,
      final boolean log) {
    LightWeightHashSet<Block> set = getBlocksSet(datanode, block);
    if (set == null) {
      set = new LightWeightHashSet<>();
      putBlocksSet(datanode, block, set);
    }
    if (set.add(block)) {
      if (blockIdManager.isStripedBlock(block)) {
        numECBlocks.increment();
      } else {
        numBlocks.increment();
      }
      if (log) {
        NameNode.blockStateChangeLog.debug("BLOCK* {}: add {} to {}",
            getClass().getSimpleName(), block, datanode);
      }
    }
  }
{code}

> 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.
