Ted Yu commented on HDFS-3703:
------------------------------
I noticed the following in FSNamesystem of hadoop 1.0:
{code}
if (conf.getBoolean("dfs.support.append", false)) {
LOG.warn("The dfs.support.append option is in your configuration, " +
"however append is not supported. This configuration option " +
"is no longer required to enable sync.");
}
{code}
Since fileSys.append() is called in Jing's test, I am not sure how the test
should be ported for hadoop 1.0
Advice is welcome.

> By default, if a box dies, the datanode will be marked as dead by the
> namenode after 10:30 minutes. In the meantime, this datanode will still be
> proposed by the nanenode to write blocks or to read replicas. It happens as
> well if the datanode crashes: there is no shutdown hooks to tell the nanemode
> we're not there anymore.
> It especially an issue with HBase. HBase regionserver timeout for production
> is often 30s. So with these configs, when a box dies HBase starts to recover
> after 30s and, while 10 minutes, the namenode will consider the blocks on the
> same box as available. Beyond the write errors, this will trigger a lot of
> missed reads:
> - during the recovery, HBase needs to read the blocks used on the dead box
> (the ones in the 'HBase Write-Ahead-Log')
> - after the recovery, reading these data blocks (the 'HBase region') will
> fail 33% of the time with the default number of replica, slowering the data
> access, especially when the errors are socket timeout (i.e. around 60s most
> of the time).
> Globally, it would be ideal if HDFS settings could be under HBase settings.
> As a side note, HBase relies on ZooKeeper to detect regionservers issues.
