dhruba borthakur commented on HDFS-1061: ---------------------------------------- It appears that this proposal is: 48 bits for preferredBlocksize (u.e. max block size is 512 TB) 16 bits for block replication (i.e. max of 64000 replicas of a block) This scheme should be backward compatible, no existing installations should have a problem with these settings. Seems like a good proposal to me. > Memory footprint optimization for INodeFile object. > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1061 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1061 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: name-node > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Bharath Mundlapudi > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.22.0 > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
