> For some typical workloads, the throughput of the namenode is bottlenecked by
> the rate of transactions that are being logged into tghe edits log. In the
> current code, a batching scheme implies that all transactions do not have to
> incur a sync of the edits log to disk. However, the existing batch-ing scheme
> can be improved.
> One option is to keep two buffers associated with edits file. Threads write
> to the primary buffer while holding the FSNamesystem lock. Then the thread
> release the FSNamesystem lock, acquires a new lock called the syncLock, swaps
> buffers, and flushes the old buffer to the persistent store. Since the
> buffers are swapped, new transactions continue to get logged into the new
> buffer. (Of course, the new transactions cannot complete before this new
> buffer is sync-ed).
> This approach does a better job of batching syncs to disk, thus improving
> performance.
