             Summary: Reduce memory used by snapshot diff data structures
                 Key: HDFS-12042
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-12042
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Misha Dmitriev
            Assignee: Misha Dmitriev


When snapshot diff operation is performed in a NameNode that manages several 
million HDFS files/directories, NN needs a lot of memory. Some of that memory 
is wasted due to suboptimal data structures, such as empty or under-populated 
ArrayLists, etc. Analyzing one heap dump with jxray (www.jxray.com), we 
observed the following problems with data structures:

9. BAD COLLECTIONS

Total collections: 99,707,902  Bad collections: 88,799,760  Overhead: 
9,063,898K (18.2%)

270,324K (0.5%)      small       931394     j.u.HashMap
{code}

The data structures created by HDFS code that suffer from the above problems 
are, in particular:

{code}
  4,228,182K (8.5%): j.u.ArrayList: 19412263 of small 2,111,087K (4.2%),

and

{code}

There are several different reference chains that all lead to 
FileDiffList.diffs or INodeDirectory.children. The total percentage of memory 
wasted by these data structures in the analyzed dump is about 12%. By creating 
these lists lazily and/or with capacity that better matches their actual size, 
we should be able to reclaim a significant part of these 12%.
