--------------------------------

             Summary: unsteady and slow performance when writing to file with 
block size >2GB
                 Key: HDFS-7380
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7380
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.4.0
            Reporter: Adam Fuchs
         Attachments: BenchmarkWrites.java

Appending to a large file with block size > 2GB can lead to periods of really 
poor performance (4X slower than optimal). I found this issue when looking at 
Accmulo write performance in ACCUMULO-3303. I wrote a small test application to 
isolate this performance down to some basic API calls (to be attached). A 
description of the execution can be found here:
