------------------------------------
Summary: Removing memory limitation of the Namenode by persisting
Block - Block location mappings to disk.
Key: HDFS-5711
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5711
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: namenode
Reporter: Rohan Pasalkar
This jira acts as an umbrella jira to track all the improvements we've done
recently to improve Namenode's performance, responsiveness, and hence
scalability. Those improvements include:
1. Incremental block reports (HDFS-395)
2. BlockManager.reportDiff optimization for processing block reports (HDFS-2477)
3. Upgradable lock to allow simutaleous read operation while reportDiff is in
progress in processing block reports (HDFS-2490)
4. More CPU efficient data structure for
under-replicated/over-replicated/invalidate blocks (HDFS-2476)
5. Increase granularity of write operations in ReplicationMonitor thus reducing
contention for write lock (HDFS-2495)
6. Support variable block sizes
7. Release RPC handlers while waiting for edit log is synced to disk
8. Reduce network traffic pressure to the master rack where NN is located by
lowering read priority of the replicas on the rack
9. A standalone KeepAlive heartbeat thread
10. Reduce Multiple traversals of path directory to one for most namespace
manipulations
11. Move logging out of write lock section.
