Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-3148:
---------------------------------------
Hey guys, can you do this work in a separate branch as well. There are too many
things going on to catchup on things. I have not had time to look into the
proposal and my feeling was, is this complexity worth adding. Though I have not
had time to think about how much complexity this feature adds.
Also, is Daryn's concern addressed?

> HDFS-3147 covers using multiple interfaces on the server (Datanode) side.
> Clients should also be able to utilize multiple *local* interfaces for
> outbound connections instead of always using the interface for the local
> hostname. This can be accomplished with a new configuration parameter
> ({{dfs.client.local.interfaces}}) that accepts a list of interfaces the
> client should use. Acceptable configuration values are the same as the
> {{dfs.datanode.available.interfaces}} parameter. The client binds its socket
> to a specific interface, which enables outbound traffic to use that
> interface. Binding the client socket to a specific address is not sufficient
> to ensure egress traffic uses that interface. Eg if multiple interfaces are
> on the same subnet the host requires IP rules that use the source address
> (which bind sets) to select the destination interface. The SO_BINDTODEVICE
> socket option could be used to select a specific interface for the connection
> instead, however it requires JNI (is not in Java's SocketOptions) and root
> access, which we don't want to require clients have.
> Like HDFS-3147, the client can use multiple local interfaces for data
> transfer. Since the client already cache their connections to DNs choosing a
> local interface at random seems like a good policy. Users can also pin a
> specific client to a specific interface by specifying just that interface in
> dfs.client.local.interfaces.
> This change was discussed in HADOOP-6210 a while back, and is actually
> useful/independent of the other HDFS-3140 changes.
