Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-918: ---------------------------------- The 5M/sec vs 1.5M/sec for contended read seems pretty bad. We definitely need to sort that out before considering putting this in. Can you try running a test with 100-200 concurrent clients each reading 32K chunks with the pread API? this would simulate an hbase-like workload. > Use single Selector and small thread pool to replace many instances of > BlockSender for reads > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-918 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-918 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: data-node > Reporter: Jay Booth > Fix For: 0.22.0 > > Attachments: hdfs-918-20100201.patch, hdfs-918-20100203.patch, > hdfs-multiplex.patch > > > Currently, on read requests, the DataXCeiver server allocates a new thread > per request, which must allocate its own buffers and leads to > higher-than-optimal CPU and memory usage by the sending threads.
