Arpit Agarwal commented on HDFS-5776: ------------------------------------- {quote} I don't see why we wouldn't expose this setting. It doesn't give the client the ability to do anything bad it couldn't already do. You can already try to open a zillion files at once in order to attack the NameNode / DataNodes. Preventing denial-of-service attacks is not currently something we try to do. And in the future, if we ever do try to prevent denial-of-service attacks, I don't think having hedged reads makes that any more or less difficult than it would otherwise be. {quote} [~cmccabe] I am thinking of carelessly configured settings, not a deliberate dos. > Support 'hedged' reads in DFSClient > ----------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-5776 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5776 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: hdfs-client > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Liang Xie > Assignee: Liang Xie > Attachments: HDFS-5776-v2.txt, HDFS-5776-v3.txt, HDFS-5776-v4.txt, > HDFS-5776-v5.txt, HDFS-5776-v6.txt, HDFS-5776-v7.txt, HDFS-5776-v8.txt, > HDFS-5776.txt > > > This is a placeholder of hdfs related stuff backport from > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7509 > The quorum read ability should be helpful especially to optimize read outliers > we can utilize "dfs.dfsclient.quorum.read.threshold.millis" & > "dfs.dfsclient.quorum.read.threadpool.size" to enable/disable the hedged read > ability from client side(e.g. HBase), and by using DFSQuorumReadMetrics, we > could export the interested metric valus into client system(e.g. HBase's > regionserver metric). > The core logic is in pread code path, we decide to goto the original > fetchBlockByteRange or the new introduced fetchBlockByteRangeSpeculative per > the above config items. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
