> RPC Congestion Control with FairCallQueue
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-9640
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9640
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.2.0
> Reporter: Xiaobo Peng
> Labels: hdfs, qos, rpc
> Attachments: NN-denial-of-service-updated-plan.pdf,
> faircallqueue.patch, rpc-congestion-control-draft-plan.pdf
>
>
> Several production Hadoop cluster incidents occurred where the Namenode was
> overloaded and failed to respond.
> We can improve quality of service for users during namenode peak loads by
> replacing the FIFO call queue with a [Fair Call
> Queue|https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12616864/NN-denial-of-service-updated-plan.pdf].
> (this plan supersedes rpc-congestion-control-draft-plan).
> Excerpted from the communication of one incident, “The map task of a user was
> creating huge number of small files in the user directory. Due to the heavy
> load on NN, the JT also was unable to communicate with NN...The cluster
> became responsive only once the job was killed.”
> Excerpted from the communication of another incident, “Namenode was
> overloaded by GetBlockLocation requests (Correction: should be getFileInfo
> requests. the job had a bug that called getFileInfo for a nonexistent file in
> an endless loop). All other requests to namenode were also affected by this
> and hence all jobs slowed down. Cluster almost came to a grinding
> halt…Eventually killed jobtracker to kill all jobs that are running.”
> Excerpted from HDFS-945, “We've seen defective applications cause havoc on
> the NameNode, for e.g. by doing 100k+ 'listStatus' on very large directories
> (60k files) etc.”
