Arun C Murthy commented on HDFS-2825: ------------------------------------- bq. Maybe we should open a new JIRA to do this as a client-side config, where the client would pass a new flag when asking the NN for a pipeline? It should just be an option for the create call? > Add test hook to turn off the writer preferring its local DN > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-2825 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2825 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: name-node > Affects Versions: 0.23.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.24.0, 0.23.1 > > Attachments: hdfs-2825.txt, hdfs-2825.txt > > > Currently, the default block placement policy always places the first replica > in the pipeline on the local node if there is a valid DN running there. In > some network designs, within-rack bandwidth is never constrained so this > doesn't give much of an advantage. It would also be really useful to disable > this for MiniDFSCluster tests, since currently if you start a multi-DN > cluster and write with replication level 1, all of the replicas go to the > same DN. > _[per discussion below, this was changed to not add a config, but only to add > a hook for testing]_ -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
