Kihwal Lee updated HDFS-6659: ----------------------------- Assignee: Amir Langer > Create a Block List > ------------------- > > Key: HDFS-6659 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6659 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: namenode > Affects Versions: 2.4.1 > Reporter: Amir Langer > Assignee: Amir Langer > Attachments: > 0001-BlockList-a-list-of-Blocks-that-saves-memory-by-mana.patch > > > BlockList - An efficient array based list that can extend its capacity with > two main features: > 1. Gaps (result of remove operations) are managed internally without the need > for extra memory - We create a linked list of gaps by using the array index > as references + An int to the head of the gaps list. In every insert > operation, we first use any available gap before extending the array. > 2. Array extension is done by chaining different arrays, not by allocating a > larger array and copying all its data across. This is a lot less heavy in > terms of latency for that particular call. It also avoids having large amount > of contiguous heap space and so behaves nicer with garbage collection. > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
