Mike Cafarella commented on HADOOP-50: -------------------------------------- Hi Andrzej, I wrote this code and got it 90% working some time ago, but then had to abandon it for a more important bug. It is not ready to go in its current state, but shouldn't be too hard. I can bring this code back to life.. --Mike > dfs datanode should store blocks in multiple directories > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-50 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-50 > Project: Hadoop > Type: Bug > Components: dfs > Versions: 0.2 > Reporter: Doug Cutting > Assignee: Mike Cafarella > Fix For: 0.2 > > The datanode currently stores all file blocks in a single directory. With > 32MB blocks and terabyte filesystems, this will create too many files in a > single directory for many filesystems. Thus blocks should be stored in > multiple directories, perhaps even a shallow hierarchy. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
