----------------------------------------------
Hi Vinay, there are some replication related tests failed in
https://builds.apache.org/job/PreCommit-HDFS-Build/6189//testReport/ . Could
you take a look?

> Today, initialization of replication queues blocks safe mode exit and certain
> HA state transitions. For a big name space, this can take hundreds of seconds
> with the FSNamesystem write lock held. During this time, important requests
> (e.g. initial block reports, heartbeat, etc) are blocked.
> The effect of delaying the initialization would be not starting replication
> right away, but I think the benefit outweighs. If we make it asynchronous,
> the work per iteration should be limited, so that the lock duration is
> capped.
> If full/incremental block reports and any other requests that modifies block
> state properly performs replication checks while the blocks are scanned and
> the queues populated in background, every block will be processed. (Some may
> be done twice) The replication monitor should run even before all blocks are
> processed.
> This will allow namenode to exit safe mode and start serving immediately even
> with a big name space. It will also reduce the HA failover latency.
