dhruba borthakur commented on HDFS-1110: ---------------------------------------- > The 12 second startup cost compared to the almost 2 gb savings seems worth it > to me. I agree, sounds good. > Namenode heap optimization - reuse objects for commonly used file names > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1110 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1110 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Suresh Srinivas > Assignee: Suresh Srinivas > Fix For: 0.22.0 > > Attachments: hdfs-1110.2.patch, hdfs-1110.3.patch, hdfs-1110.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
