Wei-Chiu Chuang updated HDFS-13183:
-----------------------------------
Release Note:
Enable balancer to redirect getBlocks request to a Standby Namenode, thus
reducing the performance impact of balancer to the Active NameNode.
The feature is disabled by default. To enable it, configure the hdfs-site.xml
of balancer:
dfs.ha.allow.stale.reads = true.
> Standby NameNode process getBlocks request to reduce Active load

> 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.
