Ayush Saxena commented on HDFS-14999:
-------------------------------------

I don't have a fair idea, what exactly a exit condition should be. May be some 
configurable number of retries? some hard coded value? or equal to number of 
nodes?
This isn't a bug post HDFS-14913, but logically has a potential of getting 
stuck long, if choose random keeps on returning the excluded node
Any suggestions?
