Fengnan Li commented on HDFS-14118: ----------------------------------- [~yzhangal] Thanks very much for the detailed suggestions! I uploaded a new patch and updated the doc as well with the usage example. > Use DNS to resolve Namenodes and Routers > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-14118 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14118 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Fengnan Li > Assignee: Fengnan Li > Priority: Major > Attachments: DNS testing log, HDFS design doc_ Single domain name for > clients - Google Docs-1.pdf, HDFS design doc_ Single domain name for clients > - Google Docs.pdf, HDFS-14118.001.patch, HDFS-14118.002.patch, > HDFS-14118.003.patch, HDFS-14118.004.patch, HDFS-14118.005.patch, > HDFS-14118.006.patch, HDFS-14118.007.patch, HDFS-14118.008.patch, > HDFS-14118.009.patch, HDFS-14118.010.patch, HDFS-14118.011.patch, > HDFS-14118.012.patch, HDFS-14118.013.patch, HDFS-14118.014.patch, > HDFS-14118.015.patch, HDFS-14118.016.patch, HDFS-14118.017.patch, > HDFS-14118.018.patch, HDFS-14118.019.patch, HDFS-14118.020.patch, > HDFS-14118.patch > > > Clients will need to know about routers to talk to the HDFS cluster > (obviously), and having routers updating (adding/removing) will have to make > every client change, which is a painful process. > DNS can be used here to resolve the single domain name clients knows to a > list of routers in the current config. However, DNS won't be able to consider > only resolving to the working router based on certain health thresholds. > There are some ways about how this can be solved. One way is to have a > separate script to regularly check the status of the router and update the > DNS records if a router fails the health thresholds. In this way, security > might be carefully considered for this way. Another way is to have the client > do the normal connecting/failover after they get the list of routers, which > requires the change of current failover proxy provider. -- 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
