             Summary: Umbrella of enhancements to support different failure and 
locality topologies
                 Key: HADOOP-8468
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8468
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ha, io
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha, 1.0.0
            Reporter: Junping Du
            Assignee: Junping Du
            Priority: Critical


The current hadoop network topology (described in some previous issues like: 
Hadoop-692) works well in classic three-tiers network when it comes out. 
However, it does not take into account other failure models or changes in the 
infrastructure that can affect network bandwidth efficiency like: 
virtualization. 
Virtualized platform has following genes that shouldn't been ignored by hadoop 
topology in scheduling tasks, placing replica, do balancing or fetching block 
for reading: 
1. VMs on the same physical host are affected by the same hardware failure. In 
order to match the reliability of a physical deployment, replication of data 
across two virtual machines on the same host should be avoided.
2. The network between VMs on the same physical host has higher throughput and 
lower latency and does not consume any physical switch bandwidth.
Thus, we propose to make hadoop network topology extend-able and introduce a 
new level in the hierarchical topology, a node group level, which maps well 
onto an infrastructure that is based on a virtualized environment.
