Daryn Sharp commented on HDFS-7224:
-----------------------------------
+1 Looks good to me. We've been running in production with this patch since
last year.
> Allow reuse of NN connections via webhdfs
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-7224
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7224
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: webhdfs
> Affects Versions: 2.5.0
> Reporter: Eric Payne
> Assignee: Eric Payne
> Attachments: HDFS-7224.v1.201410301923.txt,

> In very large clusters, the webhdfs client could get bind exceptions because
> it runs out of ephemeral
> ports. This could happen when using webhdfs to talk to the NN in order to do
> list globbing of a
> huge amount of files.
> WebHdfsFileSystem#jsonParse gets the input/error stream from the connection,
> but never closes the stream. Since it's not closed, the JVM thinks the stream
> may still
> be transferring data, so the next time through this code, it has to get a new
> connection
> rather than reusing an existing one.
> The lack of connection reuse has poor latency and adds too much overhead to
> the NN.
