Rakesh R updated HDFS-13762:
----------------------------
Release Note: Non-volatile storage class memory (SCM, also known as
persistent memory) is supported in HDFS cache. To enable SCM cache, user just
needs to configure SCM volume for property “dfs.datanode.cache.pmem.dirs” in
hdfs-site.xml. And all HDFS cache directives keep unchanged. There are two
implementations for HDFS SCM Cache, one is pure java code implementation and
the other is native PMDK based implementation. The latter implementation can
bring user better performance gain in cache write and cache read. To enable
PMDK based implementation, user should install PMDK library by referring to the
official site http://pmem.io/. Then, build Hadoop with PMDK support by
referring to "PMDK library build options" section in `BUILDING.txt` in the
source code. If multiple SCM volumes are configured, a round-robin policy is
used to select an available volume for caching a block. Consistent with DRAM
cache, SCM cache also has no cache eviction mechanism. When DataNode receives a
data read request from a client, if the corresponding block is cached into SCM,
DataNode will instantiate an InputStream with the block location path on SCM
(pure java implementation) or cache address on SCM (PMDK based implementation).
Once the InputStream is created, DataNode will send the cached data to the
client. Please refer "Centralized Cache Management" guide for more details.

> No-volatile storage class memory is a type of memory that can keep the data
> content after power failure or between the power cycle. Non-volatile storage
> class memory device usually has near access speed as memory DIMM while has
> lower cost than memory. So today It is usually used as a supplement to
> memory to hold long tern persistent data, such as data in cache.
> Currently in HDFS, we have OS page cache backed read only cache and RAMDISK
> based lazy write cache. Non-volatile memory suits for both these functions.
> This Jira aims to enable storage class memory first in read cache. Although
> storage class memory has non-volatile characteristics, to keep the same
> behavior as current read only cache, we don't use its persistent
> characteristics currently.
