Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1034: ----------------------------------- A bit of manual readahead on the checksum file could theoretically have the same benefit without the problem Jay mentioned. The Checksum file is opened with a buffer, right? In that case, do we expect to see a big benefit? > Enhance datanode to read data and checksum file in parallel > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1034 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1034 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: dhruba borthakur > Assignee: dhruba borthakur > > In the current HDFS implementation, a read of a block issued to the datanode > results in a disk access to the checksum file followed by a disk access to > the checksum file. It would be nice to be able to do these two IOs in > parallel to reduce read latency. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
