Hello,

I monitored system calls of HDFS with systemtap and found HDFS actually
sends
many 1-byte data to the network. I could also see many 8-byte and 64-byte
data
written to the OS though I don't know whether they are written to the disk
or
sent to the network. I did see many 8-byte data sent to the network. The
number
of these data is several times more than 64KB data packet sent by HDFS.

Could anyone tell me why HDFS sends so many small packets? heartbeat
messages?
RPCs? It doesn't seem to me these messages can be just 1 byte.

Thanks,
Da
