Sanjay Radia updated HADOOP-1079:
---------------------------------
Issue Type: Sub-task (was: Bug)
Parent: HADOOP-2448
> DFS Scalability: Incremental block reports
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-1079
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1079
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: dfs
> Reporter: dhruba borthakur
> Assignee: dhruba borthakur
> Attachments: blockReportPeriod.patch
>
>
> I have a cluster that has 1800 datanodes. Each datanode has around 50000
> blocks and sends a block report to the namenode once every hour. This means
> that the namenode processes a block report once every 2 seconds. Each block
> report contains all blocks that the datanode currently hosts. This makes the
> namenode compare a huge number of blocks that practically remains the same
> between two consecutive reports. This wastes CPU on the namenode.
> The problem becomes worse when the number of datanodes increases.
> One proposal is to make succeeding block reports (after a successful send of
> a full block report) be incremental. This will make the namenode process only
> those blocks that were added/deleted in the last period.
