dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-1985:
------------------------------------------
I like sanjay's proposal. If the namenode receives a block report but the
datanode's hostname has not been resolved yet, then the NN sets a bit in the
DatanodeDescriptor that indicates that the namenode should request a block
report. The NN then dumps the contents of this block report on the floor but
returns success to the block-report RPC.
Finally, when the name of the datanode is resolved and if this new bit is set,
then the NN sends a request-for-block-report request as part of the response to
a heartbeat from that datanode.

> In order to implement switch locality in MapReduce, we need to have switch
> location in both the namenode and job tracker. Currently the namenode asks
> the data nodes for this info and they run a local script to answer this
> question. In our environment and others that I know of there is no reason to
> push this to each node. It is easier to maintain a centralized script that
> maps node DNS names to switch strings.
> I propose that we build a new class that caches known DNS name to switch
> mappings and invokes a loadable class or a configurable system call to
> resolve unknown DNS to switch mappings. We can then add this to the namenode
> to support the current block to switch mapping needs and simplify the data
> nodes. We can also add this same callout to the job tracker and then
> implement rack locality logic there without needing to chane the filesystem
> API or the split planning API.
> Not only is this the least intrusive path to building racklocal MR I can ID,
> it is also future compatible to future infrastructures that may derive
> topology on the fly, etc, etc...
