Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-9259:
--------------------------------------------
That seems reasonable to me. It sounds like we could have some new client
configs for this... with {{client}} somewhere in the config key name.
> Make SO_SNDBUF size configurable at DFSClient side for hdfs write scenario

> Key: HDFS-9259
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9259
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Ming Ma
> Assignee: Mingliang Liu
>
> We recently found that cross-DC hdfs write could be really slow. Further
> investigation identified that is due to SendBufferSize and ReceiveBufferSize
> used for hdfs write. The test ran "hadoop -fs -copyFromLocal" of a 256MB file
> across DC with different SendBufferSize and ReceiveBufferSize values. The
> results showed that c much faster than b; b is faster than a.
> a. SendBufferSize=128k, ReceiveBufferSize=128k (hdfs default setting).
> b. SendBufferSize=128K, ReceiveBufferSize=not set(TCP auto tuning).
> c. SendBufferSize=not set, ReceiveBufferSize=not set(TCP auto tuning for both)
> HDFS-8829 has enabled scenario b. We would like to enable scenario c by
> making SendBufferSize configurable at DFSClient side. Cc: [~cmccabe] [~He
