Lei (Eddy) Xu updated HADOOP-10755:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: HADOOP-10755.000.patch
This patch changes default value of negative cache timeout to 30 seconds. Also
it changes the configuration key of negative cache timeout as
"negative-cache.secs".
[~vinayrpet] Thank you for the comments! I have one more question: should
negative cache be enabled by default?
> Support negative caching of user-group mapping

> We've seen a situation at a couple of our customers where interactions from
> an unknown user leads to a high-rate of group mapping calls. In one case,
> this was happening at a rate of 450 calls per second with the shell-based
> group mapping, enough to severely impact overall namenode performance and
> also leading to large amounts of log spam (prints a stack trace each time).
> Let's consider negative caching of group mapping, as well as quashing the
> rate of this log message.
