[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-51?page=comments#action_12373565 ]
paul sutter commented on HADOOP-51: ----------------------------------- +1 that it might be easier to use on a per-directory basis, examples: - /tmp directory, replication count 2 (or 1!), a good place for the output of intermediate reduce steps - /cached directory, infinite replicaton count, a good place for lookup files used in mappers or reducers > per-file replication counts > --------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-51 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-51 > Project: Hadoop > Type: New Feature > Components: dfs > Versions: 0.2 > Reporter: Doug Cutting > Assignee: Konstantin Shvachko > Fix For: 0.2 > > It should be possible to specify different replication counts for different > files. Perhaps an option when creating a new file should be the desired > replication count. MapReduce should take advantage of this feature so that > job.xml and job.jar files, which are frequently accessed by lots of machines, > are more highly replicated than large data files. -- 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
