Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1034: ----------------------------------- Only scary thing about moving checksums to a different mountpoint is that the checksum file's metadata will be on a different journal than the data files. This might end up fine, but it's a little nervewracking in terms of what kind of consistency we get out of the FS - could cause some very subtle bugs. Have we seen these issues to be a significant bottleneck? > Enhance datanode to read data and checksum file in parallel > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1034 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1034 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: dhruba borthakur > Assignee: dhruba borthakur > > In the current HDFS implementation, a read of a block issued to the datanode > results in a disk access to the checksum file followed by a disk access to > the checksum file. It would be nice to be able to do these two IOs in > parallel to reduce read latency. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
