[jira] [Created] (HDFS-4030) BlockManager excessBlocksCount and postponedMisreplicatedBlocksCount should be AtomicLongs

Eli Collins created HDFS-4030:
---------------------------------

             Summary: BlockManager excessBlocksCount and postponedMisreplicatedBlocksCount should be AtomicLongs
                 Key: HDFS-4030
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4030
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: name-node
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha
            Reporter: Eli Collins
            Assignee: Eli Collins


The BlockManager excessBlocksCount and postponedMisreplicatedBlocksCount fields are currently volatile longs which are incremented, which isn't thread safe. It looks like they're always incremented on paths that hold the NN write lock but it would be easier and less error prone for future changes if we made them AtomicLongs. The other volatile long members are just set in one thread and read in another so they're fine as is.
