Hudson commented on HADOOP-1470: -------------------------------- Integrated in Hadoop-Nightly #152 (See [http://lucene.zones.apache.org:8080/hudson/job/Hadoop-Nightly/152/]) > Rework FSInputChecker and FSOutputSummer to support checksum code sharing > between ChecksumFileSystem and block level crc dfs > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1470 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1470 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 0.12.3 > Reporter: Hairong Kuang > Assignee: Hairong Kuang > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > Attachments: GenericChecksum.patch, genericChecksum.patch, > GenericChecksum1.patch, GenericChecksum2.patch, GenericChecksum3.patch, > GenericChecksum4.patch, InputChecker-01.java > > > Comment from Doug in HADOOP-1134: > I'd prefer it if the CRC code could be shared with CheckSumFileSystem. In > particular, it seems to me that FSInputChecker and FSOutputSummer could be > extended to support pluggable sources and sinks for checksums, respectively, > and DFSDataInputStream and DFSDataOutputStream could use these. Advantages of > this are: (a) single implementation of checksum logic to debug and maintain; > (b) keeps checksumming as close to possible to data generation and use. This > patch computes checksums after data has been buffered, and validates them > before it is buffered. We sometimes use large buffers and would like to guard > against in-memory errors. The current checksum code catches a lot of such > errors. So we should compute checksums after minimal buffering (just > bytesPerChecksum, ideally) and validate them at the last possible moment > (e.g., through the use of a small final buffer with a larger buffer behind > it). I do not think this will significantly affect performance, and data > integrity is a high priority. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
