Uma Maheswara Rao G commented on HDFS-3194: ------------------------------------------- Eli, Have seen my previous comment? Actually there was another potential issue here and we have raised mainly to address that functional issue. DataBlockScanner frequently run the scan by sleeping 5sec. Here we are persisting block scan times in verification log to track the blocks which are really completed 3weeks period or not. The problem what I got is, scan method is cleaning that verification log completely after every run. We have the behavior to take one level backup of verification log. so for every 15secs, we will lose the verification log history completely. From then onwards, blocks will be scanned again even though that blocks scanned just before 15sec back. I hope this will clear my scenario. I am not sure I am missing some thing here. Eli or Andy, have tested this behavior with your patch? your patch solving that issue also?
