Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-1110:
---------------------------------------
Dhruba, see my comments on what can be done in the longer run. I feel analysis
of what are common names can be offline to reduce the load on NN. Also if you
have ideas on doing it online, let me know.
> Namenode heap optimization - reuse objects for commonly used file names

> There are a lot of common file names used in HDFS, mainly created by
> mapreduce, such as file names starting with "part". Reusing byte[]
> corresponding to these recurring file names will save significant heap space
> used for storing the file names in millions of INodeFile objects.
