Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-10326:
---------------------------------------------
bq. I think we can keep the configurability, but set the default to 0.
I agree. The reason why the original patches didn't set the default was
basically that we wanted to be conservative. Basically, we were adding the
option to use auto-tuning, but not making it the default. If we strongly
believe that auto-tuning should be the default, we should make these options
default to 0 unless set by the admin.
> Disable setting tcp socket send/receive buffers for write pipelines

> Key: HDFS-10326
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-10326
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: datanode, hdfs
> Affects Versions: 2.6.0
> Reporter: Daryn Sharp
> Assignee: Daryn Sharp
>
> The DataStreamer and the Datanode use a hardcoded
> DEFAULT_DATA_SOCKET_SIZE=128K for the send and receive buffers of a write
> pipeline. Explicitly setting tcp buffer sizes disables tcp stack
> auto-tuning.
> The hardcoded value will saturate a 1Gb with 1ms RTT. 105Mbs at 10ms.
> Paltry 11Mbs over a 100ms long haul. 10Gb networks are underutilized.
> There should either be a configuration to completely disable setting the
> buffers, or the the setReceiveBuffer and setSendBuffer should be removed
> entirely.
