Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-1381: ------------------------------------- hm, if you set it to 0, it will write a sync marker between every record? Don't worry about renaming the variable, seems like too much effort for little gain. > The distance between sync blocks in SequenceFiles should be configurable > rather than hard coded to 2000 bytes > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1381 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1381 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: io > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Harsh J > Fix For: 0.24.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-1381.r1.diff, HADOOP-1381.r2.diff, > HADOOP-1381.r3.diff, HADOOP-1381.r4.diff > > > Currently SequenceFiles put in sync blocks every 2000 bytes. It would be much > better if it was configurable with a much higher default (1mb or so?). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
