Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HDFS-1061:
----------------------------------------------

We probably could safely assume that preferredBlockSize is a power of 2.  In 
such case, only the exponents need be stored.  A 6-bit integer is good enough.

> Memory footprint optimization for INodeFile object.

> I am proposing a footprint optimization to merge blockReplication and 
> preferredBlockSize fields into one 'long header' field in INodeFile class. 
> This saves 8 bytes per INodeFile object on a 64 bit JVM. This memory 
> optimization is transparent and changes are very minimal.
