one replica of a file should be written locally if possible -----------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-561 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-561 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Bug Components: dfs Reporter: Yoram Arnon one replica of a file should be written locally if possible. That's currently not the case. Copying a 1GB file using hadoop dfs -cp running on one of the cluster nodes, all the blocks were written to remote nodes, as seen by fsck -files -blocks -locations on the newly created file. as long as there is sufficient space locally, a local copy has significant performance benefits. -- 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
