Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-5851: -------------------------------------------- The HDFS-4949 work was centered around caching small, often-used files that were already stored durably to disk. If we supported a "temporary / non-durable" storage tier, there would be some overlap with internal implementation, but probably not much with interface. We should probably have a conference call about this at some point. > Support memory as a storage medium > ---------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-5851 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5851 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: datanode > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Arpit Agarwal > Assignee: Arpit Agarwal > > Memory can be used as a storage medium for smaller/transient files for fast > write throughput. > More information/design will be added later. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
