Hairong Kuang commented on HDFS-270:
------------------------------------
Since I have not heard from Matt, let me assign this to me. This is very
important to us since we have 12-disk nodes and need to do an upgrade in a near
future.
> DFS Upgrade should process dfs.data.dirs in parallel

> Key: HDFS-270
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-270
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: data-node
> Affects Versions: 0.20.2
> Reporter: Stu Hood
> Assignee: Matt Foley
>
> I just upgraded from 0.14.2 to 0.15.0, and things went very smoothly, if a
> little slowly.
> The main reason the upgrade took so long was the block upgrades on the
> datanodes. Each of our datanodes has 3 drives listed for the dfs.data.dir
> parameter. From looking at the logs, it is fairly clear that the upgrade
> procedure does not attempt to upgrade all listed dfs.data.dir's in parallel.
> I think even if all of your dfs.data.dir's are on the same physical device,
> there would still be an advantage to performing the upgrade process in
> parallel. The less downtime, the better: especially if it is potentially 20
> minutes versus 60 minutes.
