Kihwal Lee updated HDFS-5010:
-----------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> Reduce the frequency of getCurrentUser() calls from namenode
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-5010
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5010
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: namenode, performance
> Affects Versions: 0.23.9, 2.1.0-beta
> Reporter: Kihwal Lee
> Assignee: Kihwal Lee
> Attachments: HDFS-5010.patch

> According to the "worst" jstack of a busy namenode I took, there were 29
> BLOCKED handler threads. All of them were blocked on the UGI class lock. Here
> is the breakdown:
> - 2 ensureInitialized() - from non static synchronized methods. This Jira
> will unblock these.
> - 27 getCurrentUser()
> Among the 27 threads that were blocked at getCurrentUser(),
> - 18 FSPermissionChecker() - from FSNamesystem#getPermissionChecker() in most
> namenode RPC methods
> - 8 BlockTokenSecretManager#generateToken() - getBlockLocations()
> - 1 NameNodeRpcServer.mkdirs
> I think FSPermissionChecker can be modified to be created with a passed in
> UGI. FSNamesystem can the one already stored in RPC server by calling
> getRemoteUser(). This will eliminate a bulk of getCurrentUser() calls from
> namenode RPC handlers. A similar change can be made to mkdirs. Block token
> generation is not as straightforward. Even without it we can eliminate
> majority of the calls.
