Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1583:
-----------------------------------
Why is our RPC framework so bad at byte[] parameters? Could we optimize this at
the IPC layer?
> Improve backup-node sync performance by wrapping RPC parameters

> Key: HDFS-1583
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1583
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: name-node
> Reporter: Liyin Liang
> Fix For: 0.23.0
>
> Attachments: HDFS-1583-1.patch

>
> The journal edit records are sent by the active name-node to the backup-node
> with RPC:
> {code:}
> public void journal(NamenodeRegistration registration,
> int jAction,
> int length,
> byte[] records) throws IOException;
> {code}
> During the name-node throughput benchmark, the size of byte array _records_
> is around *8000*. Then the serialization and deserialization is
> time-consuming. I wrote a simple application to test RPC with byte array
> parameter. When the size got to 8000, each RPC call need about 6 ms. While
> name-node sync 8k byte to local disk only need 0.3~0.4ms.
