Todd Lipcon updated HDFS-918: ----------------------------- Component/s: performance > Use single Selector and small thread pool to replace many instances of > BlockSender for reads > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-918 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-918 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: data-node, performance > Reporter: Jay Booth > Assignee: Jay Booth > Attachments: hbase-hdfs-benchmarks.ods, hdfs-918-20100201.patch, > hdfs-918-20100203.patch, hdfs-918-20100211.patch, hdfs-918-20100228.patch, > hdfs-918-20100309.patch, hdfs-918-TRUNK.patch, > hdfs-918-branch20-append.patch, hdfs-918-branch20.2.patch, > hdfs-918-pool.patch, hdfs-multiplex.patch > > > Currently, on read requests, the DataXCeiver server allocates a new thread > per request, which must allocate its own buffers and leads to > higher-than-optimal CPU and memory usage by the sending threads. If we had a > single selector and a small threadpool to multiplex request packets, we could > theoretically achieve higher performance while taking up fewer resources and > leaving more CPU on datanodes available for mapred, hbase or whatever. This > can be done without changing any wire protocols. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
