xiangheng commented on HDFS-13923: ---------------------------------- Hey [~csun],that's a intreasting ideas,I'm studying this question.if you like, please assign this question to me,i will try to solve this problem,thank you very much. > Add a configuration to turn on/off observer reads > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-13923 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-13923 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Chao Sun > Priority: Major > > In some situations having a config to turn on/off observer reads dynamically > may be useful. For instance, some applications may be sensitive for data > freshness and want to always reach directly to active NN. In a more complex > scenario, services such as Presto may want to apply observer reads for > different types of queries. In this case, simply change > {{dfs.client.failover.proxy.provider.<nameservice>}} may not be enough, since > with FileSystem cache (which is usually turned on) will ignore the change and > still use the same FileSystem object. > Here I'm proposing to add a flag in {{HdfsClientConfigKeys}}, such as > {{dfs.client.observer.reads.enabled}}, that can be used to dynamically turn > on/off observer reads. The FileSystem cache key should also take account of > this flag in its {{hashCode}} and {{equals}} impl, so that different > FileSystem objects will be used depending on the flag. > > cc [~shv], [~xkrogen], [~vagarychen], [~zero45] for discussion. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
