> If a user removes a few files that are huge, it causes the namenode to send BlockInvalidate command to the relevant Datanodes. The Datanode process the blockInvalidate command as part of its heartbeat thread. If the number of blocks to be invalidated is huge, the datanode takes a long time to process it. This causes the datanode to not send new heartbeats to the namenode. The namenode declares the datanode as dead!
> 1. One option is to process the blockInvalidate as a separate thread from the heartbeat thread in the Datanode. 
> 2. Another option would be to constrain the namenode to send a max (e.g. 500) blocks per blockInvalidate message.
