Ankur commented on HADOOP-4386:
-------------------------------

Is anyone working on this? if yes then are we going ahead with the approach of 
modifying hadoop RPC and add async method to the protocol as Doug described on  
HADOOP-3856?



> 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.
