Runping Qi commented on HADOOP-2608: ------------------------------------ Forgot one point: when scanning sequence files with JuteRecord with buffer instead of ustring type, the cpu was fluctuating between 50% and 100%. So it was no longer completely cpu bounded. > Reading sequence file consumes 100% cpu with maximum throughput being about > 5MB/sec per process > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2608 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2608 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: io > Reporter: Runping Qi > > I did some tests on the throughput of scanning block-compressed sequence > files. > The sustained throughput was bounded at 5MB/sec per process, with the cpu of > each process maxed at 100%. > It seems to me that the cpu consumption is too high and the throughput is too > low for just scanning files. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
