Daryn Sharp commented on HDFS-3990: ----------------------------------- Enabling a nscd host cache helped mitigate the issue by reducing load times to a few seconds. However the namespace read lock is highly undesirable, and the repeated dns lookups are questionable. > NN's health report has severe performance problems > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-3990 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3990 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: name-node > Affects Versions: 0.23.0, 2.0.0-alpha, 3.0.0 > Reporter: Daryn Sharp > Assignee: Daryn Sharp > Priority: Critical > > The dfshealth page will place a read lock on the namespace while it does a > dns lookup for every DN. On a multi-thousand node cluster, this often > results in 10s+ load time for the health page. 10 concurrent requests were > found to cause 7m+ load times during which time write operations blocked. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
