dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-1841: ------------------------------------------ Mukubd: Thanks for running the performance numbers. Doug: This patch (by itself) will not improve performance. It is mostly a bug fix. Koji's earlier comment describes how slow clients caused a denial-of-service of the namenode on a real cluster. Mukund's performance runs show that performance is not impacted. However, I plan on attempting a follow-on patch to NameNode that will move the sync-to-edits-log from occuring in the RPC Handler thread, thus possibly improving scalability. Do you think that this patch is good to go? Owen: would you like to review the code again? > 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-4.patch, asyncRPC.patch, > asyncRPC.patch > > > Hadoop's IPC Server currently writes responses from request handler threads > using blocking writes.
