dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-5598: ------------------------------------------ Looking at the results, it appears that a choice of Crc algorithms, crc data sizes and JVMs can result in pretty varied performance numbers. Maybe it would be worthwhile to make the ChecksymFilesystem pick a Checksum object based on a config parameter. Also, the hybrid model of dynamically deciding which algo to use (based on the size of data to checksum) sounds a litle scary to me :-) > Implement a pure Java CRC32 calculator > -------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5598 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5598 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: dfs > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > Attachments: crc32-results.txt, hadoop-5598-hybrid.txt, > hadoop-5598.txt, TestCrc32Performance.java, TestCrc32Performance.java > > > We've seen a reducer writing 200MB to HDFS with replication = 1 spending a > long time in crc calculation. In particular, it was spending 5 seconds in crc > calculation out of a total of 6 for the write. I suspect that it is the > java-jni border that is causing us grief. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
