Todd Lipcon updated HADOOP-7714:
--------------------------------
Attachment: hadoop-7714-20s-prelim.txt
here's a rough patch that I've been playing with over the weekend. With this
patch on, and configured, it noticeably decreases the cache churn for workloads
like teragen or teravalidate. (terasort still churns cache due to the shuffle,
but it wouldn't be too hard to improve the shuffle to drop map output out of
cache once it has been fetched by a reducer)
> Add support in native libs for OS buffer cache management

> Especially in shared HBase/MR situations, management of the OS buffer cache
> is important. Currently, running a big MR job will evict all of HBase's hot
> data from cache, causing HBase performance to really suffer. However, caching
> of the MR input/output is rarely useful, since the datasets tend to be larger
> than cache and not re-read often enough that the cache is used. Having access
> to the native calls {{posix_fadvise}} and {{sync_data_range}} on platforms
> where they are supported would allow us to do a better job of managing this
> cache.
