Wei-Chiu Chuang updated HDFS-14809:
-----------------------------------
Issue Type: New Feature (was: Bug)
> Make a new BlockReader for hdfs client lib
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-14809
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14809
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 2.6.0
> Reporter: KenCao
> Priority: Major
>
> as we known, the hdfs client java lib uses BlockReaderLocal for short circuit
> read by default, which allocate shared memory first, and make a slot within
> it. After all these steps, it will request the fds from the DataNode.
> However, the slot and shared memory sturcture is only used by DataNode when
> uncaching replicas, the client process can work well just with the fds asked
> later and it is nearly impossible to cache replicas in product environment.
> The api to release fds is called by client only with the slot given, the fds
> is close in the client process finally.
> so i think we can make a new BlockReader implementation which just requests
> the fds, and it will reduce the rpc calls from 3(allocate shm, request fds,
> release fds) to 1(request fds).
