[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-1200) Datanode should periodically do a disk check

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1200?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12486465 ] 

Koji Noguchi commented on HADOOP-1200:
--------------------------------------

I've seen many occasions when one of the disks become read-only and TaskTracker stays up, heartbeats, but it doesn't make any progress which will hang the job.  
On the other hands, datanode cleverly stops itself leaving a log on the namenode.

> HADOOP-1170 removed the disk checking feature. But this is a needed feature for maintaining a large cluster. I agree that checking the disk on every I/O is too costly. A nicer approach is to have a thread that periodically do a disk check. It then automatically decommissions itself when any error occurs.
