ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-16891:
------------------------------------------------
In fact if AsyncOutput could support write(Cell, len) - if that API supports
writing the length as integer followed by the bytes at one shot that would be
much better
{code}
private void writeCellData(byte[] b, int offset, int len) {
buf.ensureWritable(len + Size_ofINT);
if (cryptoCodec == null) {
buf.writeInt(len)
buf.writeBytes(b, off, len);
} else {
// similar like above
}
}
{code}
The API name may not be good but this is what we ideally want. In the normal
WALcellCodec case we don have these additional checks.
> Try copying to the Netty ByteBuf directly from the WALEdit

> -> The FanOutOneBlockAsyncDFSOutput is a much sophisticated dfs client model
> that works with Netty ByteBuf. Here we hold on connection to the datanodes
> using
> Netty Channels. And the idea is to write data direclty to these channels.
> AsyncHLog gets an append call. The AysncWAL uses the HBase's
> ByteArrayOutputSTream and so the content of the cell is written to this BAOS
> and that is again
> copied to the netty Bytebuf in the FanOutOneBlockAsyncDFSOutput.
> So when the sync call happens this FanoutDFSoutput does the checksum
> calcualtion itself and then writes the content of this buffer direclty to the
> DN channel.
> -> In case of FSHLOg this is different. When an append call comes we direclty
> write the content to the FSDataOutputStream (it is copied to this stream).
> Then here internally there is a checkSum calculation that happens. when a
> sync call happens there is noth ing to do except to notify the NN to flush
> the latest
> data.
> AS we can see from the above that there are two copies in AsyncWAL
> -> From the Cell to the BAOS
> -> From the BAOS to the Netty byte buf
> -> On sync() call, do check sum and finally flush the netty byte buf to the
> DN channel
> In case of FSHLog
> -> From cell to the FSDataoutputstream. data is copied. Check sum happens
> here.
> -> Sync call just tries to notify the NN.
