Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze commented on HDFS-6658:
-------------------------------------------

Nice idea!

For processing block report using BitSet, are the bits correspond to the block 
indices in DatanodeStorageInfo?  I think it can be eliminated by overwriting 
length, say setting it to (- length -1).  Set it back when computing the 
toRemove list.

>
> 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.
