Tim Owen commented on SOLR-13029:
---------------------------------
Updated to be specific to the copying of index files to/from HDFS during
backups and restores. Would be configured in solr.xml using e.g.
{noformat}
<backup>
<repository name="hdfs"
class="org.apache.solr.core.backup.repository.HdfsBackupRepository"
default="false">
..
<int name="solr.hdfs.buffer.size">262144</int>
{noformat}
There is another method in {{HdfsBackupRepository}}, {{openInput}} that is only
used for opening small metadata files or getting the checksum during restores,
so I have left that using the default buffer size. Only the bulk whole-file
copying uses the larger buffer.

> There's a default hardcoded buffer size setting of 4096 in the HDFS code
> which means in particular that restoring a backup from HDFS takes a long
> time. Copying multi-GB files from HDFS using a buffer as small as 4096 bytes
> is very inefficient. We changed this in our local build used in production to
> 256kB and saw a 10x speed improvement when restoring a backup. Attached patch
> simply makes this size configurable using a command line setting, much like
> several other buffer size values.
