Eli Collins commented on HADOOP-8198: ------------------------------------- Use case 2 is the primary motivation,as you point out use case #1 can be addressed purely with host-level bonding. The two scenarios I care most about, that will be used widely, are: # Systems where the on-cluster traffic is on a cluster-private, high-speed (eg infiniband) network, and off-cluster access from clients goes over a separate network. # Systems where the cluster needs a dedicated, high-performance link with an adjacent system (another Hadoop cluster, an EDW, etc) Agree wrt HADOOP-7510, I've been discussing moving tokens off IPs and to hostname or a host-level identifier with Daryn. I think we need to tackle this for HA as well, he's got some good ideas here. > Support multiple network interfaces > ----------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8198 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8198 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: io, performance > Reporter: Eli Collins > Assignee: Eli Collins > Attachments: MultipleNifsv1.pdf, MultipleNifsv2.pdf, > MultipleNifsv3.pdf > > > Hadoop does not currently utilize multiple network interfaces, which is a > common user request, and important in enterprise environments. This jira > covers a proposal for enhancements to Hadoop so it better utilizes multiple > network interfaces. The primary motivation being improved performance, > performance isolation, resource utilization and fault tolerance. The attached > design doc covers the high-level use cases, requirements, a proposal for > trunk/0.23, discussion on related features, and a proposal for Hadoop 1.x > that covers a subset of the functionality of the trunk/0.23 proposal. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
