Stephen O'Donnell commented on HDFS-16423:
------------------------------------------
I have a question on this Jira.
As I understand it, the namenode marks all storages stale after a failover. The
only way the storage is marked as "not stale" is when a FBR is sent from the
datanode. This FBR interval is 6 hours by default, but some set it higher. I
don't think there is any mechanism to trigger the FBR early due to the failover.
If we tell the balancer to not pick blocks from stale storages, then after a
failover the balancer will effectively not work at all for up to the FBR
interval, as there will be no storages for it to pick blocks from. Is that
correct?
I wonder if we should log a message in the NN indicating "all storages as
stale" to help people understand that is why the balancer is not working?
Probably, the balancer will try 5 times to get some blocks to move and then
give up with a "failed to move any blocks in 5 iterations" message.

> We have met a problems as described in HDFS-16420
> We found that balancer copied a block multi times without deleting the source
> block if this block was placed in a stale storage. And resulting a block with
> many copies, but these redundant copies are not deleted until the storage
> become not stale.
