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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
