Summary: cross-cluster rack awareness for distcp
Key: HDFS-13992
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-13992
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 2.7.7, 3.0.3, 3.1.1, 2.8.4
Reporter: Ruslan Dautkhanov
Would be great if distcp supported cross-cluster rack awareness.
For example, we have hdfs cluster1 and hdfs cluster2.
Both clusters span three switches, and both have rack awareness enabled.
And also both clusters name same switches same way.
So when distcp runs data replication job, it could replicate hdfs blocks
only to counterpart datanodes on destination cluster that are in the same
physical network
switch, minimizing latencies and maximizing bandwidth.
It could be an option, activate through `distcp` clommand-line switch.
We have multiple clusters with default replication of 3 and all those cluster
live in same three different "racks" / "top of the rack switches".
This could drastically minimize inter-switch network traffic during huge distcp
jobs.
