dhruba borthakur updated HADOOP-1707:
-------------------------------------
Issue Type: Improvement (was: Bug)
> DFS client can allow user to write data to the next block while uploading
> previous block to HDFS
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-1707
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1707
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: dfs
> Reporter: dhruba borthakur
> Assignee: dhruba borthakur
>
> The DFS client currently uses a staging file on local disk to cache all
> user-writes to a file. When the staging file accumulates 1 block worth of
> data, its contents are flushed to a HDFS datanode. These operations occur
> sequentially.
> A simple optimization of allowing the user to write to another staging file
> while simultaneously uploading the contents of the first staging file to HDFS
> will improve file-upload performance.
