             Summary: Make SO_SNDBUF size configurable at DFSClient side for 
hdfs write scenario
                 Key: HDFS-9259
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9259
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ming Ma


We recently found that cross-DC hdfs write could be really slow. Further 
investigation identified that is due to SendBufferSize and ReceiveBufferSize 
used for hdfs write. The test is to do "hadoop -fs -copyFromLocal" of a 256MB 
file across DC with different SendBufferSize and ReceiveBufferSize values. The 
results showed that c much faster than b; b is faster than a.

a. SendBufferSize=128k, ReceiveBufferSize=128k (hdfs default setting).
b. SendBufferSize=128K, ReceiveBufferSize=not set(TCP auto tuning).
c. SendBufferSize=not set, ReceiveBufferSize=not set(TCP auto tuning for both)

HDFS-8829 has enabled scenario b. We would like to enable scenario c to make 
SendBufferSize configurable at DFSClient side. Cc: [~cmccabe] [~He Tianyi]
