Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-3164:
--------------------------------------
Currently I am looking into a dip in DFSIO read test. I will upload a new
version of the patch after fixing it.
> Use FileChannel.transferTo() when data is read from 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().
