Zhihong Yu updated HBASE-5074: ------------------------------ Comment: was deleted (was: tedyu has commented on the revision "[jira] [HBASE-5074] Support checksums in HBase block cache". Good job, Dhruba. I like this comment from HFileSystem: + * In future, if we want to make hlogs be in a different filesystem, + * this is the place to make it happen. I only see one setVerifyChecksum() call in the HFileSystem ctor. The readfs is used by createReaderWithEncoding(). Shall we give readfs more flexibility where checksum verification can be configured dynamically ? REVISION DETAIL https://reviews.facebook.net/D1521 ) > support checksums in HBase block cache > -------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5074 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5074 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: regionserver > Reporter: dhruba borthakur > Assignee: dhruba borthakur > Attachments: D1521.1.patch, D1521.1.patch > > > The current implementation of HDFS stores the data in one block file and the > metadata(checksum) in another block file. This means that every read into the > HBase block cache actually consumes two disk iops, one to the datafile and > one to the checksum file. This is a major problem for scaling HBase, because > HBase is usually bottlenecked on the number of random disk iops that the > storage-hardware offers. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
