Raghu Angadi commented on HDFS-516:
-----------------------------------
bq. somehow, from 213 seconds to 112 seconds to stream 1GB from a remote HDFS
file.
This is 5MBps for HDFS and 9MBps for RadFS. Assuming 9MBps is probably 100Mbps
network limit (is it?), 5MBps is too low for any FS. Since both reads are from
the same physical files, this may not be hardware related. Could you check what
is causing this delay? This might be affecting other benchmarks as well.
Checking netstat on the client while this read is going on might help.
Regd reads in RAD fs, does client fetch 32KB each time (single RPC) or does it
pipeline (multiple requests for single client's stream)?
@Todd, I essentially see this as POC of what could/should be improved in HDFS
for addressing latency issues. Contrib makes sense, but I would not expect this
to go to production in this form and should be marked 'Experimental'. The
benchmarks also help greatly in setting priorities for features. I don't think
this needs a branch since it does not touch core at all.

> I created a method for low latency random reads using NIO on the server side
