      Enable balancer to redirect getBlocks request to a Standby Namenode, thus reducing the performance impact of balancer to the Active NameNode.

      The feature is disabled by default. To enable it, configure the hdfs-site.xml of balancer:
      dfs.ha.allow.stale.reads = true.

    Description

      The performance of Active NameNode could be impact when Balancer requests #getBlocks, since query blocks of overly full DNs performance is extremely inefficient currently. The main reason is NameNodeRpcServer#getBlocks hold read lock for long time. In extreme case, all handlers of Active NameNode RPC server are occupied by one reader NameNodeRpcServer#getBlocks and other write operation calls, thus Active NameNode enter a state of false death for number of seconds even for minutes.
      The similar performance concerns of Balancer have reported by HDFS-9412, HDFS-7967, etc.

      If Standby NameNode can shoulder #getBlocks heavy burden, it could speed up the progress of balancing and reduce performance impact to Active NameNode.
