Junping Du commented on HADOOP-10048:
-------------------------------------
I would prefer not to backport to 2.6 and 2.7 for the same reason as [~jlowe]
mentioned. This is a performance gain but not a bug fix which should be kept
out of maintenance release as our previous practices.

> 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.
