Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-2154:
--------------------------------------

I chatted with Eric and Konstantin. I think we are on the same page now. 
Essentially this jira will reduce memory (buffer) copies by rearranging how 
data is read/written to/from sockets/disk.

I filed a follow up jira HADOOP-2758 for DFS read side. Read path is much 
simpler and I can work on write part while we are evaluating good or bad 
affects of HADOOP-2758.


> Non-interleaved checksums would optimize block transfers.

> Currently when a block is transfered to a data-node the client interleaves 
> data chunks with the respective checksums. 
> This requires creating an extra copy of the original data in a new buffer 
> interleaved with the crcs.
> We can avoid extra copying if the data and the crc are fed to the socket one 
> after another.
