dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-3164:
------------------------------------------
It would be nice if we can keep code same on all platforms as much as possible.
One option would be to raise the default io.file.buffer.size to something like
64K and use FileChannel.transferTo on all platforms.
> Use FileChannel.transferTo() when data is read from DataNode.

> in DataNode.
> At the time DataNode neither used NIO sockets nor wrote large chunks of
> contiguous block data to socket. Hadoop 0.17 does both when data is seved to
> clients (and other datanodes). I am planning to try using transferTo() in the
> trunk. This might reduce DataNode's cpu by another 50% or more.
> Once HADOOP-1702 is committed, we can look into using transferFrom().
