Andrew Wang commented on HDFS-6982:
-----------------------------------
Hey Maysam, I haven't looked at the new patch yet, but I'd prefer to reuse the
existing config files and classes rather than introducing new ones. Admins and
cluster management tools expect things to land in hdfs-site.xml, and it should
still be pretty easy to code review.
> nntop: top-like tool for name node users

> Key: HDFS-6982
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6982
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Maysam Yabandeh
> Assignee: Maysam Yabandeh
> Attachments: HDFS-6982.patch, HDFS-6982.v2.patch, HDFS-6982.v3.patch,

> 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).
