dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-1841: ------------------------------------------ It improves performance in the face of clients that are very slow to consume output. I am yet to run performance benchmarks (e.g. sort) to prove that it does not decrease performance in the normal case. > IPC server should write repsonses asynchronously > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-1841 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1841 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: ipc > Reporter: Doug Cutting > Assignee: dhruba borthakur > Attachments: asyncRPC-2.patch, asyncRPC.patch, asyncRPC.patch > > > Hadoop's IPC Server currently writes responses from request handler threads > using blocking writes.
