Kihwal Lee created HDFS-8865: -------------------------------- Summary: Improve quota initialization performance Key: HDFS-8865 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8865 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Kihwal Lee
After replaying edits, the whole file system tree is recursively scanned in order to initialize the quota. For big name space, this can take a very long time. Since this is done during namenode failover, it also affects failover latency. By using the Fork-Join framework, I was able to greatly reduce the initialization time. The following is the test result using the fsimage from one of the big name nodes we have. || threads || seconds|| | 1 (existing) | 55| | 1 (fork-join) | 68 | | 4 | 16 | | 8 | 8 | | 12 | 6 | | 16 | 5 | | 20 | 4 | -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
