Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-7278:
--------------------------------------

I think it's a good tool to have in our toolbox to work around possible bugs in 
NN replica accounting. If an operator suspects such an issue, they might be 
tempted to restart a DN, or all of the DNs in a cluster, in order to trigger 
full block reports. It'd be much lighter weight if instead the operator could 
just manually trigger a full BR instead of having to restart the DN and 
therefore need to scan all the DN data dirs, etc.

> Add a command that allows sysadmins to manually trigger full block reports 
> from a DN
