Zhe Zhang commented on HDFS-12943:
----------------------------------
Thanks [~csun], interesting results!
If I understand correctly, both your test and the Dynamometer test are more
like trace-driven micro benchmarks, where a container issues a certain type of
RPC at given timestamp. Chris was probably referring to a test job with "real
code" like {{if !file_exists(path) then create_file(path)}}, where the blocking
relationship between calls are miniced.
[~chris.douglas]: the "natural" increase of write traffic is an interesting
question. I don't think the feature will increase the total amount of write
RPCs (a given job will still issue that many writes overall). Writes within a
job could become more bursty but the job itself will run for shorter.
Statistically, the 1000s of jobs on the cluster would probably smooth out this
increased burstiness.

> StandbyNode in HDFS is a replica of the active NameNode. The states of the
> NameNodes are coordinated via the journal. It is natural to consider
> StandbyNode as a read-only replica. As with any replicated distributed system
> the problem of stale reads should be resolved. Our main goal is to provide
> reads from standby in a consistent way in order to enable a wide range of
> existing applications running on top of HDFS.
