Christian Kunz commented on HADOOP-2576: ---------------------------------------- Heartbeat is indeed 1 minute. On the other hand, of the 143437 blocks in 2nd block report listing blocks to be deleted on 10 datanodes, about 127650 are unique (including the one I checked having 40 failed attempts to delete), about 15400 are double, and less than 400 are replicated more or equal 3 times. > Namenode performance degradation over time > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-2576 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2576 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: dfs > Affects Versions: 0.16.0 > Reporter: Christian Kunz > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > > We have a cluster running the same applications again and again with a high > turnover of files. > The performance of these applications seem to be correlated to the lifetime > of the namenode: > After starting the namenode, the applications need increasingly more time to > complete, with about 50% more time after 1 week. > During that time the namenode average cpu usage increases from typically 10% > to 30%, memory usage nearly doubles (although the average amount of data on > dfs stays the same), and the average load factor increases by a factor of 2-3 > (although not significantly high, <2). > When looking at the namenode and datanode logs, I see a lot of asks to delete > blocks coming from the namenode for blocks not in the blockmap of the > datanodes, repeatedly for the same blocks. > When I counted the number of blocks asked by the namenode to be deleted, I > noticed a noticeable increase with the lifetime of the namenode (a factor of > 2-3 after 1 week). > This makes me wonder whether the namenode does not purge the list of invalid > blocks from non-existing blocks. > But independently, the namenode has a degradation issue. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
