I posted v001 patch by changing -XX:ConcGCThreads=8 to -XX:ConcGCThreads=4, which is more optimal per offline discussion with [~jaimin], thanks. I also updated the review board by uploading the new patch v001.

> 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
