Jorge Machado commented on HDFS-9924: ------------------------------------- Any ideas how to improve the hdfs dfs put command with async io ? Or I'm I in the wrong thread. From what I saw here [https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/io/IOUtils.java#L129] Copy Commands still uses blocking io right ? > [umbrella] Nonblocking HDFS Access > ---------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-9924 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9924 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: fs > Reporter: Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze > Assignee: Duo Zhang > Priority: Major > Attachments: Async-HDFS-Performance-Report.pdf, > AsyncHdfs20160510.pdf, HDFS-9924-POC.patch > > > This is an umbrella JIRA for supporting Nonblocking HDFS Access. > Currently, all the API methods are blocking calls -- the caller is blocked > until the method returns. It is very slow if a client makes a large number > of independent calls in a single thread since each call has to wait until the > previous call is finished. It is inefficient if a client needs to create a > large number of threads to invoke the calls. > We propose adding a new API to support nonblocking calls, i.e. the caller is > not blocked. The methods in the new API immediately return a Java Future > object. The return value can be obtained by the usual Future.get() method. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.14#76016) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
