Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-7836: -------------------------------------------- I don't think the block map size is really that easy to get at right now. Taking a heap dump on a big NN can take minutes... it's not something most sysadmins will let you do. And the analysis is difficult... a lot of common heap analysis tools require tons of memory. Anyway, we should probably add a JMX counter for the size(s) of the block map hash tables, and the number of entries, for tracking purposes. > BlockManager Scalability Improvements > ------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-7836 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7836 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Charles Lamb > Assignee: Charles Lamb > Attachments: BlockManagerScalabilityImprovementsDesign.pdf > > > Improvements to BlockManager scalability. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
