>
> When many nodes (10) read from the same block simultaneously, we get
> asymmetric distribution of read load. This can result in slow block reads
> when one replica is serving most of the readers and the other replicas are
> idle. The busy DN bottlenecks on its network link.
> This is especially visible with large block sizes and high replica counts (I
> reproduced the problem with {{-Ddfs.block.size=4294967296}} and replication
> 5), but the same behavior happens on a small scale with normal-sized blocks
> and replication=3.
> The root of the problem is in {{NetworkTopology#pseudoSortByDistance}} which
> explicitly does not try to spread traffic among replicas in a given rack --
> it only randomizes usage for off-rack replicas.
