> Key: HADOOP-10048
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10048
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Jason Lowe

>
> As noted in MAPREDUCE-5584 and HADOOP-7016, LocalDirAllocator can be a
> bottleneck for multithreaded setups like the ShuffleHandler. We should
> consider moving to a lockless design or minimizing the critical sections to a
> very small amount of time that does not involve I/O operations.
