Todd Lipcon commented on MAPREDUCE-2841:
----------------------------------------
FYI, I'm running terasort validations/perf tests on a cluster now. If there are
any specific configurations that you'd like to see for terasort on a 5-node
cluster, please let me know. (eg HDFS block sizes, MR task memory
configurations, etc). I did my best to pick some reasonable settings that kept
the machine resources saturated, but want to make sure everyone's input is
heard.

> I'm recently working on native optimization for MapTask based on JNI.
> The basic idea is that, add a NativeMapOutputCollector to handle k/v pairs
> emitted by mapper, therefore sort, spill, IFile serialization can all be done
> in native code, preliminary test(on Xeon E5410, jdk6u24) showed promising
> results:
> 1. Sort is about 3x-10x as fast as java(only binary string compare is
> supported)
> 2. IFile serialization speed is about 3x of java, about 500MB/s, if hardware
> CRC32C is used, things can get much faster(1G/
> 3. Merge code is not completed yet, so the test use enough io.sort.mb to
> prevent mid-spill
> This leads to a total speed up of 2x~3x for the whole MapTask, if
> IdentityMapper(mapper does nothing) is used
> There are limitations of course, currently only Text and BytesWritable is
> supported, and I have not think through many things right now, such as how to
> support map side combine. I had some discussion with somebody familiar with
> hive, it seems that these limitations won't be much problem for Hive to
> benefit from those optimizations, at least. Advices or discussions about
> improving compatibility are most welcome:)
> Currently NativeMapOutputCollector has a static method called canEnable(),
> which checks if key/value type, comparator type, combiner are all compatible,
> then MapTask can choose to enable NativeMapOutputCollector.
> This is only a preliminary test, more work need to be done. I expect better
> final results, and I believe similar optimization can be adopt to reduce task
> and shuffle too.
