Haohui Mai commented on HDFS-6982:
----------------------------------
bq. ... the attached patch was for the first architecture ...
Which architecture did you guys run in production? I wonder, do you plan to
support both architecture at the same time? It looks to me that the code can be
simplified if only one architecture needs to be supported.
If you only aim for the first architecture that's totally fine too, but I
prefer to somehow pushing the concept of rolling window to the hadoop metric
system.
> nntop: top-like tool for name node users

> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: New Feature

> In this jira we motivate the need for nntop, a tool that, similarly to what
> top does in Linux, gives the list of top users of the HDFS name node and
> gives insight about which users are sending majority of each traffic type to
> the name node. This information turns out to be the most critical when the
> name node is under pressure and the HDFS admin needs to know which user is
> hammering the name node and with what kind of requests. Here we present the
> design of nntop which has been in production at Twitter in the past 10
> months. nntop proved to have low cpu overhead (< 2% in a cluster of 4K
> nodes), low memory footprint (less than a few MB), and quite efficient for
> the write path (only two hash lookup for updating a metric).
