Amar Kamat updated HADOOP-1965: ------------------------------- Attachment: 1965_single_proc_150mb_gziped.pdf I am attaching the results of having a threaded spill [ with two DataOutputBuffer (each is half the size of io.sort.mb) and a separate thread for sorting and spilling ] as compared to a sequential spill [ as done now ] provided that the data is non-splittable and should be consumed by a single map task. The setup is as follows * Data source: Random text using random-text-writer * Key size : 10 words * Data size : ~150mb * Input type : Gzip * DFS-block-size : 200mb * # nodes : 1 * Job type : wordcount * io.sort.mb : {5,15,25,50,75,100,125} ---- Results : See the attachment 1965_single_proc_150mb_gziped.pdf ---- comments ? Kindly let me know if a text format of the comparison is required. > Handle map output buffers better > -------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1965 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1965 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapred > Reporter: Devaraj Das > Assignee: Amar Kamat > Attachments: 1965_single_proc_150mb_gziped.pdf > > > Today, the map task stops calling the map method while sort/spill is using > the (single instance of) map output buffer. One improvement that can be done > to improve performance of the map task is to have another buffer for writing > the map outputs to, while sort/spill is using the first buffer. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
