Sammi Chen updated HDFS-13762:
------------------------------
    Description: 
No-volatile storage class memory is a type of memory that can keep the data 
content after power failure or between the power cycle. Non-volatile storage 
class memory device usually has near access speed as memory DIMM while has 
lower cost than memory.  So today It is usually used as a supplement to memory 
to hold long tern persistent data, such as data in cache. 

Currently in HDFS, we have OS page cache backed read only cache and RAMDISK 
based lazy write cache.  Non-volatile memory suits for both these functions. 

This Jira aims to enable storage class memory first in read cache. Although 
storage class memory has non-volatile characteristics, to keep the same 
behavior as current read only cache, we don't use its persistent 
characteristics currently.
