Namenode heap optimization - reuse objects for commonly used file names -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-1110 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1110 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Suresh Srinivas Assignee: Suresh Srinivas Fix For: 0.22.0 There are a lot of common file names used in HDFS, mainly created by mapreduce, such as file names starting with "part". Reusing byte[] corresponding to these recurring file names will save significant heap space used for storing the file names in millions of INodeFile objects. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
