Description
1. BlockPoolSliceScanner#scan() will not return until all the blocks are scanned.
2. If the blocks (with size in several MBs) to datanode are written continuously
then one iteration of BlockPoolSliceScanner#scan() will be continously scanning the blocks
3. These blocks will be deleted after some time (enough to get block scanned)
4. As Block Scanning is throttled, So verification of all blocks will take so much time.
5. Rolling will never happen, so even though the total number of blocks in datanode doesn't increases, entries ( which contains stale entries of deleted blocks) in dncp_block_verification.log.curr continuously increases leading to huge size.
In one of our env, it grown more than 1TB where total number of blocks were only ~45k.
