Eric Payne commented on HDFS-555:
---------------------------------
Hey Ravi and Hairong,
Did this ever get committed? I'm looking through
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/ at the branches for .20, .21, and .22,
and I don't see it in any of the MiniDFSCluster.java sources.
Thanks,
-Eric

> DataNodeCluster is a great tool to simulate a large scale DFS cluster using a
> small set of machines. A few suggestions to improve this tool:
> 1. DataNodeCluster uses MiniDFSCluster#startDataNode to start multiple
> instances of DataNode on one machine. MiniDFSCluster sets DataNode's address
> to be 127.0.0.1. We should allow to set its address to 0.0.0.0 so DataNodes
> in different machines could communicate.
> 2. Currently the size of the blocks injected to DataNode and created in
> CreatedEditsLog is hardcoded as 10. It would be more convenient if this could
> be configurable. Also we need to make sure that both use the same block size.
> 3. If the replication factor of blocks is larger than 1, currently a
> DataNode in DataNodeCluster will be injected blocks multiple times and
> therefore it sends block reports to NameNode multiple times. Initial block
> reports contain only a portion of its blocks and therefore may cause
> unnecessary block replications. It would be cleaner if only one block report
> with all its blocks is sent.
