Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-14963:
--------------------------------------------
[~xudongcao] I really don't like the idea of caching the index of the active
NameNode on the local file system.
Hundreds of clients are running on the same node concurrently.
* While starting up they will all be bottlenecked on reading the same file.
* During failover they will all be writing to the same file.
* Currently clients don't have persistent state on local FS, you essentially
introduce one with the cache. I would rather keep then stateless in that regard.
> Add HDFS Client machine caching active namenode index mechanism.

> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: hdfs-client
> Affects Versions: 3.1.3
> Reporter: Xudong Cao

> Labels: multi-sbnn

> In multi-NameNodes scenery, a new hdfs client always begins a rpc call from
> the 1st namenode, simply polls, and finally determines the current Active
> namenode.
> This brings at least two problems：
> # Extra failover consumption, especially in the case of frequent creation of
> clients.
> # Unnecessary log printing, suppose there are 3 NNs and the 3rd is ANN, and
> then a client starts rpc with the 1st NN, it will be silent when failover
> from the 1st NN to the 2nd NN, but when failover from the 2nd NN to the 3rd
> NN, it prints some unnecessary logs, in some scenarios, these logs will be
> very numerous:

> We can introduce a solution for this problem: in client machine, for every
> hdfs cluster, caching its current Active NameNode index in a separate cache
> file named by its uri. *Note these cache files are shared by all hdfs client
> processes on this machine*.
> For example, suppose there are hdfs://ns1 and hdfs://ns2, and the client
> machine cache file directory is /tmp, then:
> # the ns1 cluster related cache file is /tmp/ns1
> # the ns2 cluster related cache file is /tmp/ns2
> And then:
> # When a client starts, it reads the current Active NameNode index from the
> corresponding cache file based on the target hdfs uri, and then directly make
> an rpc call toward the right ANN.
> # After each time client failovers, it need to write the latest Active
> NameNode index to the corresponding cache file based on the target hdfs uri.
