Jorge Machado commented on HDFS-916:
------------------------------------
Hi Guys, I know this is pretty old but is there any status on this ? We are
transferring like 30TB via hdfs dfs copyFromLocal to a hadoop Cluster,
Currently we have the cpus as bottleneck...
> Rewrite DFSOutputStream to use a single thread with NIO
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-916
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-916
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: hdfs-client
> Affects Versions: 0.22.0
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Priority: Major
>
> The DFS write pipeline code has some really hairy multi-threaded
> synchronization. There have been a lot of bugs produced by this (HDFS-101,
> HDFS-793, HDFS-915, tens of others) since it's very hard to understand the
> message passing, lock sharing, and interruption properties. The reason for
> the multiple threads is to be able to simultaneously send and receive. If
> instead of using multiple threads, it used nonblocking IO, I think the whole
> thing would be a lot less error prone.
> I think we could do this in two halves: one half is the DFSOutputStream. The
> other half is BlockReceiver. I opened this JIRA first as I think it's simpler
> (only one TCP connection to deal with, rather than an up and downstream)
> Opinions? Am I crazy? I would like to see some agreement on the idea before I
> spend time writing code.
