Hyunsik Choi commented on GIRAPH-12:
------------------------------------
Like the current PeerThread, initially each PeerConnection gets one established
RPC proxy. These connections are kept during whole processing. So, there is no
connection overhead.
If you test this code on Yahoo!'s clusters, I'll appreciate your help. And,
next week I can access to my lab's hadoop cluster. At that time, I'll also do
some tests.

> Currently every worker will start up a thread to communicate with every other
> workers. Hadoop RPC is used for communication. For instance if there are
> 400 workers, each worker will create 400 threads. This ends up using a lot
> of memory, even with the option
> -Dmapred.child.java.opts="-Xss64k".
> It would be good to investigate using frameworks like Netty or custom roll
> our own to improve this situation. By moving away from Hadoop RPC, we would
> also make compatibility of different Hadoop versions easier.
