Sanjay Radia commented on HDFS-2246: ------------------------------------ HDFS-347 discusses ways to optimize reads for local clients. A clean design is fairly involved. A shortcut has been proposed where the client access the hdfs file blocks directly; this works if the client is the same user/group as the DN daemon. This is non-invasive and is a good short term solution till HDFS-347 is completed. > Shortcut a local client reads to a Datanodes files directly > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-2246 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2246 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Sanjay Radia > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
