Adam Muise commented on HDFS-3475:
----------------------------------
Note on this value: while we tested at 100, this may be too high for a cluster
under even moderate workload. The cluster in question had very powerful nodes
and dual-bonded 10Gb interfaces. We also had to increase the DataNode memory in
the range of 4-6Gb. You may choose to start the value at 10 and go up based on
your available memory for the Datanode, I/O, and network capacity.

> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha
> Reporter: Harsh J
> Assignee: Harsh J
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: 2.1.0-alpha

> BlockManager currently hardcodes the following two constants:
> {code}
> private static final int INVALIDATE_WORK_PCT_PER_ITERATION = 32;
> private static final int REPLICATION_WORK_MULTIPLIER_PER_ITERATION = 2;
> {code}
> These are used to throttle/limit the amount of deletion and
> replication-to-other-DN work done per heartbeat interval of a live DN.
> Not many have had reasons to want these changed so far but there have been a
> few requests I've faced over the past year from a variety of clusters I've
> helped maintain. I think with the improvements in disks and network thats
> already started to be rolled out in production environments out there,
> changing these may start making sense to some.
> Lets at least make it advanced-configurable with proper docs that warn
> adequately, with the defaults being what they are today. With hardcodes, it
> comes down to a recompile for admins, which is not something they may like.
> Please let me know your thoughts.
