Sahil Takiar commented on HDFS-14111: ------------------------------------- I can't attach patches to this JIRA since its not assigned to me, so I put the patch in a gist link: https://gist.github.com/sahilTakiar/4e8cbd47beb7324501c371e61e1eb8d7 The patch extends the {{StreamCapabilities}} class to support {{ByteBufferReadable}} and replaces the {{readDirect}} call in {{hdfsOpenFile}} with a JNI that call to the {{StreamCapabilities#hasCapability}}. If we are ok with this approach, I would like to wait until HDFS-14267 has been merged before submitting this patch, so that we can get some test coverage for this change. > hdfsOpenFile on HDFS causes unnecessary IO from file offset 0 > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-14111 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14111 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: hdfs-client, libhdfs > Affects Versions: 3.2.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Priority: Major > > hdfsOpenFile() calls readDirect() with a 0-length argument in order to check > whether the underlying stream supports bytebuffer reads. With DFSInputStream, > the read(0) isn't short circuited, and results in the DFSClient opening a > block reader. In the case of a remote block, the block reader will actually > issue a read of the whole block, causing the datanode to perform unnecessary > IO and network transfers in order to fill up the client's TCP buffers. This > causes performance degradation. -- 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
