> As HDFS-11047 reported, DirectoryScanner does scan by deep copying
> FinalizedReplica. In a deployment with 500,000+ blocks, we've seen the DN
> heap usage being accumulated to high peaks very quickly. Deep copies of
> FinalizedReplica will make DN heap usage even worse if directory scans are
> scheduled more frequently.
> Another factor is that huge number of ScanInfo instances corresponding to
> HDFS blocks are lingering in garbage to eat many heap memories until a full
> GC takes place.
> This proposes adding JVM settings to force GC more frequently to release
> DataNode heap consumed as a result of two aforementioned reasons, i.e. add
> the options to HADOOP_DATANODE_OPTS
> {noformat}
> -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=70 -XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly
> -XX:ConcGCThreads=8 -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
> {noformat}
