Hairong Kuang commented on HDFS-1435: ------------------------------------- Oops! The header of the table above should shift right one column. @Lu, I really like your idea and thanks a lot for your patch. I created HDFS-1457 to track this. > Provide an option to store fsimage compressed > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1435 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1435 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: name-node > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Hairong Kuang > Assignee: Hairong Kuang > Fix For: 0.22.0 > > Attachments: checkpoint-limitandcompress.patch, > trunkImageCompress.patch, trunkImageCompress1.patch > > > Our HDFS has fsimage as big as 20G bytes. It consumes a lot of network > bandwidth when secondary NN uploads a new fsimage to primary NN. > If we could store fsimage compressed, the problem could be greatly alleviated. > I plan to provide a new configuration hdfs.image.compressed with a default > value of false. If it is set to be true, fsimage is stored as compressed. > The fsimage will have a new layout with a new field "compressed" in its > header, indicating if the namespace is stored compressed or not. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
