Ming Ma updated HDFS-6772:
--------------------------

    Attachment: HDFS-6772-3.patch

Thanks, Arpit. Here is the updated patch. The reason I renamed from "stale" 
storage to "content stale" stage so that it is distinguished from "stale" 
datanode; given the stale definitions are different.

> Get DNs out of blockContentsStale==true state faster when NN restarts

> Here is the non-HA scenario.
> 1. Get HDFS into block-over-replicated situation.
> 2. Restart the NN.
> 3. From NN's point of view, DNs will remain in blockContentsStale==true state 
> for a long time. That in turns make postponedMisreplicatedBlocks size big. 
> Bigger postponedMisreplicatedBlocks size will impact blockreport latency. 
> Given blockreport takes NN global lock, it has severe impact on NN 
> performance and make the cluster unstable.
> Why will DNs remain in blockContentsStale==true state for a long time?
> 1. When a DN reconnect to NN upon NN restart, blockreport RPC could come in 
> before heartbeat RPC. That is due to how BPServiceActor#offerService decides 
> when to send blockreport and heartbeat. In the case of NN restart, NN will 
> ask DN to register when NN gets the first heartbeat request; DN will then 
> register with NN; followed by blockreport RPC; the heartbeat RPC will come 
> after that.
> 2. So right after the first blockreport, given heartbeatedSinceFailover 
> remains false, blockContentsStale will stay true.
> {noformat}
> DatanodeStorageInfo.java
>   void receivedBlockReport() {
>     if (heartbeatedSinceFailover) {
>       blockContentsStale = false;
>     }
>     blockReportCount++;
>   }
> {noformat}
> 3. So the DN will remain in blockContentsStale==true until the next 
> blockreport. For big cluster, dfs.blockreport.intervalMsec could be set to 
> some large value.
