> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-782
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Ning Zhang
>
> In a large and busy cluster, a block can be requested by many clients at the
> same time. HDFS-767 tries to solve the failing case when the # of retries
> exceeds the maximum # of retries. However, that patch doesn't solve the
> performance issue since all failing clients have to wait a certain period
> before retry, and the # of retries could be high.
> One solution to solve the performance issue is to increase the # of replicas
> for this "hot" block dynamically when it is requested many times at a short
> period. The name node need to be aware such situation and only clean up extra
> replicas when they are not accessed recently.
