alan wootton commented on HADOOP-50: ------------------------------------ +1 I didn't look at the patch, but I carefully read the commented out code. I vote yes. (is it already in? - close this issue). > 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: 0.3 > Attachments: hadoop.50.patch.1 > > 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
