> HADOOP-2910 changed HDFS to stop accepting new connections when the rpc queue is full. It should continue to accept connections and let the OS  deal with limiting connections.
> HADOOP-2910's decision to not read from open sockets when queue is full is exactly right -  backup on the
> client sockets and they will just wait( especially with HADOOP-2188 that removes client timeouts).
> However we should continue to  accept connections:
> The OS refuses new connections after a large number of connections are open (this is configurable parameter). With this patch, we have  new lower limit for # of open connections when the RPC queue is full.
> The problem is that when there is a surge of requests, we would stop
> accepting connection and clients will get a connection failed (a change from old behavior).
> Instead if you continue to accept connections it is likely that the surge will be over shortly and
> clients will get served. Of course if the surge lasts a long time the OS will stop accepting connections
> and clients will fail and there not much one can do (except raise the os limit).
> I propose that we continue accepting connections, but not read from
> connections when the RPC queue is full. (ie undo part of 2910 work back to the old behavior).
