Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-7435:
-------------------------------------------
I agree this broke {NNThroughputBenchmark.BlockReportStats}} operation as it
makes DNs always send an empty block report no matter what the parameters of
the benchmark are.
Good catch Mingliang. Let's file a jira to fix this. [~daryn] are you available
to fix this?
> PB encoding of block reports is very inefficient

> Block reports are encoded as a PB repeating long. Repeating fields use an
> {{ArrayList}} with default capacity of 10. A block report containing tens or
> hundreds of thousand of longs (3 for each replica) is extremely expensive
> since the {{ArrayList}} must realloc many times. Also, decoding repeating
> fields will box the primitive longs which must then be unboxed.
