Improve backup-node sync performance by wrapping RPC parameters
---------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HDFS-1583
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1583
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: name-node
            Reporter: Liyin Liang


The journal edit records are sent by the active name-node to the backup-node 
with RPC:
{code:}
  public void journal(NamenodeRegistration registration,
                      int jAction,
                      int length,
                      byte[] records) throws IOException;
{code}
During the name-node throughput benchmark, the size of byte array _records_ is 
around *8000*.  Then the serialization and deserialization is time-consuming. I 
wrote a simple application to test RPC with byte array parameter. When the size 
got to 8000, each RPC call need about 6 ms. While name-node sync 8k byte to 
local disk only need  0.3~0.4ms.
