Vinay commented on HDFS-3734:
-----------------------------
Hi [~yanbo], thanks for taking a look at this.
{quote}According to the BlockPlacementPolicy, if the total DataNode numbers of
the cluster is less than the min replication, the real replication will equal
to the smaller one(in this case is the total DataNode numbers).{quote}
Here, Cluster have 2 DataNodes, and file is written with replication factor as
1.
Later min replication is changed to 2, same as number of datanodes available
and cluster is restarted.
So problem is not with the replication. actual problem is namenode entering to
safemode on restart, if more than one blocks are there in the cluster and min
replication is increased.
And in safemode, no replication will happen to satisfy the min replication.
Here no need of modifying the test scenario,
instead I would suggest to allow to replicate blocks in case of at least one
replica is available. After replication, min replication expectation will be
satisfied automatically.

> Key: HDFS-3734
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3734
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.1.0-alpha, 3.0.0
> Reporter: Vinay
>
> TestFSEditLogLoader.testReplicationAdjusted() which was added in HDFS-2003
> will fail if number of blocks before cluster restart are more than one.
> Test Scenario:
> --------------
> 1. Write a file with min replication as 1 and replication factor as 1.
> 2. Change the min replication to 2 and restart the cluster.
> Expected: Min replication should be automatically reset on cluster restart by
> replicating more blocks.
> Currently, if the number of blocks before restart is only one, then on
> restart NN will not enter safemode, hence replication will happen and
> satisfies min replication factor.
> If initial blocks count is more than 1 which are having replication factor as
> 1, then on restart NN will enter safemode and will never come out.
