nkeywal commented on HDFS-4350:
-------------------------------
For HBase, it's not a big deal:
- in all case, both write & read path needs to use the stale mode.
- the burden is for the HDFS admin, as it needs to be configured in HDFS.
> Make enabling of stale marking on read and write paths independent

> Marking of datanodes as stale for the read and write path was introduced in
> HDFS-3703 and HDFS-3912 respectively. This is enabled using two new keys,
> {{DFS_NAMENODE_CHECK_STALE_DATANODE_KEY}} and
> {{DFS_NAMENODE_AVOID_STALE_DATANODE_FOR_WRITE_KEY}}. However, there currently
> exists a dependency, since you cannot enable write marking without also
> enabling read marking, since the first key enables both checking of staleness
> and read marking.
> I propose renaming the first key to
> {{DFS_NAMENODE_AVOID_STALE_DATANODE_FOR_READ_KEY}}, and make checking enabled
> if either of the keys are set. This will allow read and write marking to be
> enabled independently.
