Siyao Meng commented on HDFS-14283:
-----------------------------------
[~leosun08] I discussed with [~weichiu]. I'm fine with ditching the sorting
logic on the server side so that we don't need to make any server side changed
in this patch. One reason is that in most cases there will only be one cached
replica for a block.
We will simply allow the client to prefer the cached replica with a
configuration option then.

> 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.
