> Namenode memory optimization - Block replicas list
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-6658
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6658
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: namenode
> Affects Versions: 2.4.1
> Reporter: Amir Langer
> Assignee: Amir Langer
> Attachments: Namenode Memory Optimizations - Block replicas list.docx
>
>
> Part of the memory consumed by every BlockInfo object in the Namenode is a
> linked list of block references for every DatanodeStorageInfo (called
> "triplets").
> We propose to change the way we store the list in memory.
> Using primitive integer indexes instead of object references will reduce the
> memory needed for every block replica (when compressed oops is disabled) and
> in our new design the list overhead will be per DatanodeStorageInfo and not
> per block replica.
> see attached design doc. for details and evaluation results.
