> The number of threads are currently limited on datanodes. Once these threads are occupied, DataNode does not accept any more requests (DOS). Recently we saw a case where most of the 256 threads were waiting in {{DataXceiver.replaceBlock()}} trying to acquire  {{balancingSem}}.  Since rebalancing  is (heavily) throttled, I would think this would be the common case. 
> These operations waiting  for active rebalancing threads to finish need not take up a thread.
