Arun C Murthy commented on HDFS-1338:
-------------------------------------

Some possible enhancements we could aim for, under certain assumptions, are:

# Assume that the cluster is empty and TestDFSIO is the *only* application 
running
# Get all the nodes in the cluster
# Implement a custom input-split to write only 1 replica to a subset of the 
nodes in the cluster
# Read the replicas in a manner that ensures equal node-local, rack-local and 
off-switch replicas.

Thoughts?

> Currently the read test in TestDFSIO benchmark just opens a large side file 
> and measures the read performance. The MR scheduler has no opportunity to do 
> *any* optimization for the TestDFSIO MR application. The side-effect of this 
> is that it is *very* hard to do any meaningful analysis of the results of the 
> benchmark i.e. to check if node-local or rack-local or off-switch read 
> performance improved/degraded.
