Sean Mackrory commented on HDFS-10702:
--------------------------------------
I think we should also consider ways to not send requests to multiple SNNs. I
did some testing, and while this does indeed decrease traffic to the NN and
increase performance when a single SNN is there, if you have multiple SNNs this
only decreases traffic to the NN - it actually also decreases the performance
of the client and would further increase overall network usage. I don't think
we need to be particularly sophisticated about picking the most ideal SNN,
especially since this feature inherently accepts the idea of not having the
most up to date metadata.

> Currently, clients must always talk to the active NameNode when performing
> any metadata operation, which means active NameNode could be a bottleneck for
> scalability. One way to solve this problem is to send read-only operations to
> Standby NameNode. The disadvantage is that it might be a stale read.
> Here, I'm thinking of adding a Client API to enable/disable stale read from
> Standby which gives Client the power to set the staleness restriction.
