Xiaoqiao He commented on HDFS-13183:
------------------------------------
[~ayushtkn] I totally agree that SBN read/Observer is more common and
interesting feature. And it is also effective to reduce load of ANN from
#getBlocks. IMO, redirect #getBlocks request to Standby does step further, we
could also reduce load of Observer which is core role on the whole read/write
access path if we open SBN read feature. On another hand, it is also one choice
for end users who do not open SBN feature. Thanks.

> The performance of Active NameNode could be impact when {{Balancer}} requests
> #getBlocks, since query blocks of overly full DNs performance is extremely
> inefficient currently. The main reason is {{NameNodeRpcServer#getBlocks}}
> hold read lock for long time. In extreme case, all handlers of Active
> NameNode RPC server are occupied by one reader
> {{NameNodeRpcServer#getBlocks}} and other write operation calls, thus Active
> NameNode enter a state of false death for number of seconds even for minutes.
> The similar performance concerns of Balancer have reported by HDFS-9412,
> HDFS-7967, etc.
> If Standby NameNode can shoulder #getBlocks heavy burden, it could speed up
> the progress of balancing and reduce performance impact to Active NameNode.
