Tsz-wo Sze updated RATIS-1176:
------------------------------
Description:
In RATIS-1175, we provided a WritableByteChannel view of DataStreamOutput in
order to support FileChannel.transferTo. However, [~runzhiwang] pointed out
that sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.transferTo has three submethods
- transferToDirectly (fastest)
- transferToTrustedChannel
- transferToArbitraryChannel (slowest, requires buffer copying)
Unfortunately, our current implementation only able to use
transferToArbitraryChannel.
There are several ideas below to improve the performance. We should benchmark
them.
# Improve the current implementation of WritableByteChannel so that it may be
able to use a faster transferTo method.
# Use
[FileChannel.map(..)|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/nio/channels/FileChannel.html#map-java.nio.channels.FileChannel.MapMode-long-long-]
and pass MappedByteBuffer to our DataStreamOutput.writeAsync method.
# Add a new API
{code}
//DataStreamOutput
CompletableFuture<DataStreamReply> writeAsync(File);
{code}
Internally, use Netty DefaultFileRegion for zero-copy file transfer:
