Todd Lipcon updated HDFS-3697: ------------------------------ Attachment: hdfs-3697.txt Attached patch enables the readahead to 4MB by default. Experimentally we've determined this provides a good performance boost without too high an increase in buffer cache usage. I also took the liberty of adding documentation for the other fadvise parameters to hdfs-default.xml in this patch. > Enable fadvise readahead by default > ----------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-3697 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3697 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: data-node, performance > Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.2.0-alpha > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > Priority: Minor > Attachments: hdfs-3697.txt > > > The fadvise features have been implemented for some time, and we've enabled > them in production at a lot of customer sites without difficulty.
