namenode can save images in parallel to all directories in fs.name.dir ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-855 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-855 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Components: name-node Reporter: dhruba borthakur The namenode restart times can be reduced if the namenode can save its image to multiple directories (specified in fs.name.dir) in parallel. The NN has a 6 GB fsimage and 1 MB edits file. The NN needed 10 minutes to load fsimage/edits into memory. It needs 7 minutes to read the 6 GB image. There are two directories in fs.name.dir. it takes about 2 minute to save the image into first directory and another 2 minutes to save the image to the second directory. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
