Mingliang Liu commented on HDFS-9259: ------------------------------------- Hi [~mingma], can I work on this, if we reach consensus on the issue itself? > Make SO_SNDBUF size configurable at DFSClient side for hdfs write scenario > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-9259 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9259 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ming Ma > > We recently found that cross-DC hdfs write could be really slow. Further > investigation identified that is due to SendBufferSize and ReceiveBufferSize > used for hdfs write. The test is to do "hadoop -fs -copyFromLocal" of a 256MB > file across DC with different SendBufferSize and ReceiveBufferSize values. > The results showed that c much faster than b; b is faster than a. > a. SendBufferSize=128k, ReceiveBufferSize=128k (hdfs default setting). > b. SendBufferSize=128K, ReceiveBufferSize=not set(TCP auto tuning). > c. SendBufferSize=not set, ReceiveBufferSize=not set(TCP auto tuning for both) > HDFS-8829 has enabled scenario b. We would like to enable scenario c to make > SendBufferSize configurable at DFSClient side.
