Erik Krogen commented on HDFS-14090:
------------------------------------

[~crh], I took a look at the design document and think your approach is very 
sensible. One issue I considered was that if many clients start posting 
requests to subcluster A, the call queue on the router may become full of A 
requests thus causing decreased service to subcluster B, but it should continue 
to drain quickly as there will still be cluster B handlers available to read 
the requests and throw {{StandbyException}} to them. So it would seem this 
should not be an issue.

One thing I would prefer to see is an exception used besides 
{{StandbyException}}; though practically it accomplishes the correct purpose, 
it is semantically incorrect. Really a backoff exception is closer to the 
correct semantics.

> Router is a gateway to underlying name nodes. Gateway architectures, should 
> help minimize impact of clients connecting to healthy clusters vs unhealthy 
> clusters.
> For example - If there are 2 name nodes downstream, and one of them is 
> heavily loaded with calls spiking rpc queue times, due to back pressure the 
> same with start reflecting on the router. As a result of this, clients 
> connecting to healthy/faster name nodes will also slow down as same rpc queue 
> is maintained for all calls at the router layer. Essentially the same IPC 
> thread pool is used by router to connect to all name nodes.
> Currently router uses one single rpc queue for all calls. Lets discuss how we 
> can change the architecture and add some throttling logic for 
> unhealthy/slow/overloaded name nodes.
> One way could be to read from current call queue, immediately identify 
> downstream name node and maintain a separate queue for each underlying name 
> node. Another simpler way is to maintain some sort of rate limiter configured 
> for each name node and let routers drop/reject/send error requests after 
> certain threshold. 
> This won’t be a simple change as router’s ‘Server’ layer would need redesign 
> and implementation. Currently this layer is the same as name node.
> Opening this ticket to discuss, design and implement this feature.
