Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-1985:
-------------------------------------
I propose the following to avoid corner case HDFS issues and keeping the
existing invariant (that all operations like block rereplication/deletion
happen knowing the rackid of the datanodes).
1) On namenode startup, the namenode keeps on accepting datanode registrations
and lazily resolving them. (as in the patch)
2) Block report is not processed if the datanode in question has not been
resolved
3) When the resolution thread gets a chance to run, it resolves all what exists
in the queue
Makes sense ?

> In order to implement switch locality in MapReduce, we need to have switch
> location in both the namenode and job tracker. Currently the namenode asks
> the data nodes for this info and they run a local script to answer this
> question. In our environment and others that I know of there is no reason to
> push this to each node. It is easier to maintain a centralized script that
> maps node DNS names to switch strings.
> I propose that we build a new class that caches known DNS name to switch
> mappings and invokes a loadable class or a configurable system call to
> resolve unknown DNS to switch mappings. We can then add this to the namenode
> to support the current block to switch mapping needs and simplify the data
> nodes. We can also add this same callout to the job tracker and then
> implement rack locality logic there without needing to chane the filesystem
> API or the split planning API.
> Not only is this the least intrusive path to building racklocal MR I can ID,
> it is also future compatible to future infrastructures that may derive
> topology on the fly, etc, etc...
