George Porter updated HADOOP-4096:
----------------------------------
Description:
This proposal is to extend the DataNode Transfer protocol (described in
DataNode.java lines 916 - 995) to support "options", in the spirit of IP or TCP
options. This should make this protocol more extensible, allowing the client
to include metadata along with commands. This would support efforts to include
end-to-end and causal tracing into Hadoop, and hopefully other efforts as well.
Options should have a type, and be of variable length. It should be possible
to include multiple options along with each datanode command. The option
should apply to both the command and any data that is part of the command. If
the datanode does not understand a given option, it should ignore it. Options
should be sent end-to-end through intermediate datanodes, if necessary. For
example, if an OP_WRITE_BLOCK command is pipelined through several machines,
the options should be sent along the pipeline. Nodes along the pipeline may
modify the options.
BTW, If HADOOP-4005 (concrete datanode protocol) is implemented, then it should
solve this problem by simply letting the user add state to the concrete
protocol class.
