Zhe Zhang commented on HDFS-8808: --------------------------------- bq. if i could suggest, may be add a configuration to configure bandwidth specifically for bootstrap. Thanks for the suggestion [~ajithshetty]. bootstrapping standby NN looks a pretty urgent task to me and I haven't seen a scenario where its xfer rate should be limited. That said, adding a config with zero default also looks reasonable. Any thoughts [~atm]? > dfs.image.transfer.bandwidthPerSec should not apply to -bootstrapStandby > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-8808 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8808 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Gautam Gopalakrishnan > Assignee: Zhe Zhang > > The parameter {{dfs.image.transfer.bandwidthPerSec}} can be used to limit the > speed with which the fsimage is copied between the namenodes during regular > use. However, as a side effect, this also limits transfers when the > {{-bootstrapStandby}} option is used. This option is often used during > upgrades and could potentially slow down the entire workflow. The request > here is to ensure {{-bootstrapStandby}} is unaffected by this bandwidth > setting -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
