Matt Foley reopened HDFS-2379:
------------------------------


There's been a request to include this in 1.0.1, but the patch doesn't apply; it conflicts with another patch on several files.

Todd, would you be able to look at making the patch work in branch-1.0, please?

> As disks are getting larger and more plentiful, we're seeing DNs with multiple millions of blocks on a single machine. When page cache space is tight, block reports can take multiple minutes to generate. Currently, during the scanning of the data directories to generate a report, the FSVolumeSet lock is held. This causes writes and reads to block, timeout, etc, causing big problems especially for clients like HBase.
> This JIRA is to explore some of the ideas originally discussed in HADOOP-4584 for the 0.20.20x series.
