Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-8198: ------------------------------------- @Todd: If the scope is only DNs, then you may be correct that it's not a blocking issue. The basic issue is a token cannot be acquired over 1 interface, and then subsequently used via another. This may or may not be an issue today, but it's worth noting that it places strong limitations on clients and network topologies in a multi-NIC environment. We have to ensure that all services issuing tokens to an external client cannot be cannot be run on a multi-NIC host. I believe this currently applies to the NN, RM, AM(??), JHS, and maybe others. Since the AM runs on a DN, it's the one to be most concerned about. I don't understand the yarn token passing enough to know if it is a problem today. Repurposing of hosts will be impacted. If a service is moved from a failed host to another host, and the new host is multi-NIC, then the grid internal interfaces must be shutdown. If the host is repurposed to be a DN again, then the interfaces will need to be re-enabled. > 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.
