Improve the shuffle phase by using the "connection: keep-alive" and doing batch transfers of
files
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-1338
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1338
Project: Hadoop
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: mapred
Reporter: Devaraj Das
Fix For: 0.14.0
We should do transfers of map outputs at the granularity of *total-bytes-transferred* rather
than the current way of transferring a single file and then closing the connection to the
server. A single TaskTracker might have a couple of map output files for a given reduce, and
we should transfer multiple of them (upto a certain total size) in a single connection to
the TaskTracker. Using HTTP-1.1's keep-alive connection would help since it would keep the
connection open for more than one file transfer. We should limit the transfers to a certain
size so that we don't hold up a jetty thread indefinitely (and cause timeouts for other clients).
Overall, this should give us improved performance.
