Ravi Prakash commented on HDFS-1172:
------------------------------------
Thanks Todd! Its not causing any big issues. Its just something our operations
folks were expecting in the 0.23 release. And given that the first rc just got
branched, I was hoping this would get in there. For now do you think it would
be possible to commit the patch without the unit test and come back for the
unit test later?

> I've seen this for a long time, and imagine it's a known issue, but couldn't
> find an existing JIRA. It often happens that we see the NN schedule
> replication on the last block of files very quickly after they're completed,
> before the other DNs in the pipeline have a chance to report the new block.
> This results in a lot of extra replication work on the cluster, as we
> replicate the block and then end up with multiple excess replicas which are
> very quickly deleted.
