Luke Lu commented on HADOOP-9421: --------------------------------- bq. Given today's network speeds, I'm not going to fret over a handful of bytes that greatly enhance the design of the authentication layer. It's not the bytes but a whole new network/rpc round trip that can be easily avoided. In WAN and/or when the network is busy the round trip latency can easily be in hundreds of ms. bq. That patch resulted in an average 1% penalty and a median 2% penalty to the first RPC call using kerberos authentication - which translates to less than 10ms. 10ms / 1% means the total latency is 1 second! Something is not right here. bq. I can likely erase it by removing the unnecessary connection context I doubt it, the unnecessary connection context is in the noise compared with a network/rpc round trip. > Convert SASL to use ProtoBuf and add lengths for non-blocking processing > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-9421 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9421 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Sub-task > Affects Versions: 2.0.3-alpha > Reporter: Sanjay Radia > Assignee: Daryn Sharp > Attachments: HADOOP-9421.patch, HADOOP-9421.patch, HADOOP-9421.patch, > HADOOP-9421.patch, HADOOP-9421-v2-demo.patch > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
