David Chaiken commented on HADOOP-10610:
----------------------------------------
Thanks very much for fixing this issue. We have run into this problem at
Altiscale, and our customers will appreciate the faster performance and higher
reliability that we'll be able to implement by specifying multiple S3 buffer
directories.
> Upgrade S3n s3.fs.buffer.dir to support multi directories

> s3.fs.buffer.dir defines the tmp folder where files will be written to before
> getting sent to S3. Right now this is limited to a single folder which
> causes to major issues.
> 1. You need a drive with enough space to store all the tmp files at once
> 2. You are limited to the IO speeds of a single drive
> This solution will resolve both and has been tested to increase the S3 write
> speed by 2.5x with 10 mappers on hs1.
