Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-4386:
-------------------------------------

We should experiment with this feature for MapReduce shuffle as well (maybe as 
a follow-up jira). Shuffle has more or less the same sort of requirements.

Locking connection seems inefficient to me except only during 
initiation/termination. Connection to the same server should be serialized. Did 
you mean some other type of blocking?

> RPC support for large data transfers.

> Currently HDFS has a socket level protocol for serving HDFS data to clients. 
> Clients do not use RPCs to read or write data. Fundamentally there is no 
> reason why this data transfer  can not use RPCs.
> This jira is place holder for any porting Datanode transfers to RPC. This 
> topic has been discussed in varying detail many times, the latest being in 
> the context of HADOOP-3856. There are quite a few issues to be resolved both 
> at API level and at implementation level. 
> We should probably copy some of the comments from HADOOP-3856 to here.
