Devaraj Das updated HDFS-2576: ------------------------------ Attachment: hdfs-2576-trunk-8.1.patch Findbugs found an actual bug. Fixed it. > Namenode should have a favored nodes hint to enable clients to have control > over block placement. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-2576 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2576 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Pritam Damania > Assignee: Devaraj Das > Fix For: 2.0.5-beta > > Attachments: hdfs-2576-1.txt, hdfs-2576-trunk-1.patch, > hdfs-2576-trunk-2.patch, hdfs-2576-trunk-7.1.patch, hdfs-2576-trunk-7.patch, > hdfs-2576-trunk-8.1.patch, hdfs-2576-trunk-8.patch > > > Sometimes Clients like HBase are required to dynamically compute the > datanodes it wishes to place the blocks for a file for higher level of > locality. For this purpose there is a need of a way to give the Namenode a > hint in terms of a favoredNodes parameter about the locations where the > client wants to put each block. The proposed solution is a favored nodes > parameter in the addBlock() method and in the create() file method to enable > the clients to give the hints to the NameNode about the locations of each > replica of the block. Note that this would be just a hint and finally the > NameNode would look at disk usage, datanode load etc. and decide whether it > can respect the hints or not. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
