We did the same change on hadoop-0.20 and ran it for a day under heavy write and read load on the test cluster. The unittest included just reruns the TestRCP with multiple number of reader threads > The RPC server Listener thread is a scalability bottleneck > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6713 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6713 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: ipc > Affects Versions: 0.20.0, 0.20.1, 0.20.2 > Reporter: dhruba borthakur > Assignee: Dmytro Molkov > Attachments: HADOOP-6713.patch > > > The Hadoop RPC Server implementation has a single Listener thread that reads > data from the socket and puts them into a call queue. This means that this > single thread can pull RPC requests off the network only as fast as a single > CPU can execute. This is a scalability bottlneck in our cluster. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
