Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-1702:
--------------------------------------

Whats wrong with a internal variable with default of 64k? How do we know 64k is the best for all platforms, though its a pretty good value?

> HADOOP-1649 adds extra buffering to improve write performance.  The following diagram shows buffers as pointed by (numbers). Each eatra buffer adds an extra copy since most of our read()/write()s match the io.bytes.per.checksum, which is much smaller than buffer size.

> Currently loops that read and write block data, handle one checksum chunk at a time. By reading multiple chunks at a time, we can remove buffers (1), (2), (3), and (5). 
> Similarly some copies can be reduced when clients read data from the DFS.
