-------------------------------------
Nicolas, I fixed the patch for formatting issues. Thanks.
> Increase granularity of write operations in ReplicationMonitor thus reducing
> contention for write lock

> Key: HDFS-2495
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2495
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: name-node
> Reporter: Tomasz Nykiel

>
> For processing blocks in ReplicationMonitor
> (BlockManager.computeReplicationWork), we first obtain a list of blocks to be
> replicated by calling chooseUnderReplicatedBlocks, and then for each block
> which was found, we call computeReplicationWorkForBlock. The latter processes
> a block in three stages, acquiring the writelock twice per call:
> 1. obtaining block related info (livenodes, srcnode, etc.) under lock
> 2. choosing target for replication
> 3. scheduling replication (under lock)
> We would like to change this behaviour and decrease contention for the write
> lock, by batching blocks and executing 1,2,3, for sets of blocks, rather than
> for each one separately. This would decrease the number of writeLock to 2,
> from 2*numberofblocks.
> Also, the info level logging can be pushed outside the writelock.
