Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HDFS-941: --------------------------------------------- > My experience with TestDFSIO has been that the variance of its results are > higher ... I also have similar experience. Also it is hard to explain what do the "Throughput" and "Average IO rate" really mean. In [Kihwal's results|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-941?focusedCommentId=13050798&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13050798], the value could be >100 MB/sec, which seems unreasonable. > Datanode xceiver protocol should allow reuse of a connection > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-941 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-941 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: data-node, hdfs client > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: bc Wong > Fix For: 0.22.0 > > Attachments: 941.22.txt, 941.22.txt, 941.22.v2.txt, 941.22.v3.txt, > HDFS-941-1.patch, HDFS-941-2.patch, HDFS-941-3.patch, HDFS-941-3.patch, > HDFS-941-4.patch, HDFS-941-5.patch, HDFS-941-6.22.patch, HDFS-941-6.patch, > HDFS-941-6.patch, HDFS-941-6.patch, fix-close-delta.txt, hdfs-941.txt, > hdfs-941.txt, hdfs-941.txt, hdfs-941.txt, hdfs941-1.png > > > Right now each connection into the datanode xceiver only processes one > operation. > In the case that an operation leaves the stream in a well-defined state (eg a > client reads to the end of a block successfully) the same connection could be > reused for a second operation.
