Siyao Meng commented on HDFS-14283:
-----------------------------------
[~ayushtkn] I agree that we should add a new client-side config to prefer
cached blocks, and default it to off (false). I see that rev 004 already added
it. Thanks [~leosun08].
But one more thing, would you also add it to hdfs-default.xml ?
I'm okay with sorting cached blocks on server. It doesn't seem we can sort it
on client side easily since the client might not have the distance information
of each node (CMIIW).

> HDFS Caching offers performance benefits. However, currently NameNode does
> not treat cached replica with higher priority, so HDFS caching is only useful
> when cache replication = 3, that is to say, all replicas are cached in
> memory, so that a client doesn't randomly pick an uncached replica.
> HDFS-6846 proposed to let NameNode give higher priority to cached replica.
> Changing a logic in NameNode is always tricky so that didn't get much
> traction. Here I propose a different approach: let client (DFSInputStream)
> prefer cached replica.
> A {{LocatedBlock}} object already contains cached replica location so a
> client has the needed information. I think we can change
> {{DFSInputStream#getBestNodeDNAddrPair()}} for this purpose.
