Reducing NameNode memory usage by an alternate hash table ---------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-1114 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1114 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Components: name-node Reporter: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE NameNode uses a java.util.HashMap to store BlockInfo objects. When there are many blocks in HDFS, this map uses a lot of memory in the NameNode. We may optimize the memory usage by a light weight hash table implementation. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
