Maysam Yabandeh commented on HDFS-5175:
---------------------------------------
Any update on this patch? Our network infrastructure showed interest in
labeling hadoop data traffic, and this jira could have been used for this
purpose. I guess other companies must have similar applications that could
benefit from this patch.
> Provide clients a way to set IP header bits on connections
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-5175
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5175
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.5-alpha
> Reporter: Lohit Vijayarenu
>
> It would be very helpful if we had ability for clients to set IP headers when
> they make socket connections for data transfers. We were looking into setting
> up QoS using DSCP bit and saw that there is no easy way to let clients pass
> down a specific value when clients make connection to DataNode.
> As a quick fix we did something similar to io.file.buffer.size where client
> could pass down DSCP integer value and when DFSClient opens a stream, it
> could set the value on socket using setTrafficClass
> Opening this JIRA to get more inputs from others who have had experience and
> might have already thought about this.
