Sean Mackrory commented on HADOOP-13868:
----------------------------------------
{quote}128MB seems a reasonable increase{quote}
Just to be clear, it's a decrease. I was mistaken about what the previous
defaults were in trunk. But the current value is also significantly sub-optimal
(at least in all the US regions I tested, despite significantly varying raw
performance between them).

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: fs/s3
> Affects Versions: 2.7.0, 3.0.0-alpha1

> I've been looking at a big performance regression when writing to S3 from
> Spark that appears to have been introduced with HADOOP-12891.
> In the Amazon SDK, the default threshold for multi-part copies is 320x the
> threshold for multi-part uploads (and the block size is 20x bigger), so I
> don't think it's necessarily wise for us to have them be the same.
> I did some quick tests and it seems to me the sweet spot when multi-part
> copies start being faster is around 512MB. It wasn't as significant, but
> using 104857600 (Amazon's default) for the blocksize was also slightly better.
> I propose we do the following, although they're independent decisions:
> (1) Split the configuration. Ideally, I'd like to have
> fs.s3a.multipart.copy.threshold and fs.s3a.multipart.upload.threshold (and
> corresponding properties for the block size). But then there's the question
> of what to do with the existing fs.s3a.multipart.* properties. Deprecation?
> Leave it as a short-hand for configuring both (that's overridden by the more
> specific properties?).
> (2) Consider increasing the default values. In my tests, 256 MB seemed to be
> where multipart uploads came into their own, and 512 MB was where multipart
> copies started outperforming the alternative. Would be interested to hear
> what other people have seen.
