Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HDFS-918:
-----------------------------------------
I tested the latest full patch (not the pool one) and didn't see any issue,
although it was on a single machine and with block cache ON (but lots of
evictions). I need to do some more proper testing on my test cluster.
bq. Would people be interested in another JIRA focusing on just the pooling
improvements
I am, and I think that having smaller patches will help getting this committed.

> Currently, on read requests, the DataXCeiver server allocates a new thread
> per request, which must allocate its own buffers and leads to
> higher-than-optimal CPU and memory usage by the sending threads. If we had a
> single selector and a small threadpool to multiplex request packets, we could
> theoretically achieve higher performance while taking up fewer resources and
> leaving more CPU on datanodes available for mapred, hbase or whatever. This
> can be done without changing any wire protocols.
