Arpit Agarwal commented on HDFS-6581:
-------------------------------------

Thanks for the note. We have been busy getting the basic feature in and 
stabilizing the branch. I intend to call a merge vote for the branch later this 
week. Most of the things you mention are somewhat open ended tasks and we plan 
to address post-merge:
# Benchmarking writes to memory. This might suggest further work to improve the 
data write pipeline.
# Benchmark the impact of CRC computation, evaluate moving it off the hot path.
# Improve eviction, there's multiple ideas floating around, including 
integration with CCM.

Contributions would be welcome on any of these.

bq. It would be nice to see that would could get a substantial fraction of 
memory bandwidth when writing to a single replica in-memory.
The comparison will be interesting but I can tell you without measurement it is 
not going to be a substantial fraction of memory bandwidth. We are still going 
through DataTransferProtocol with all the copies and overhead that involves.

> Per discussion with the community on HDFS-5851, we will implement writing to 
> a single replica in DN memory via DataTransferProtocol.
> This avoids some of the issues with short-circuit writes, which we can 
> revisit at a later time.
