> Key: HADOOP-3672
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3672
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: dfs
> Affects Versions: 0.17.0
> Environment: Linux 2.6.9-55 , Dual Core Opteron 280 2.4Ghz , 4GB memory
> Reporter: George Wu
> Attachments: pread_test.java
>
>
> preads() establish new connections per request. yourkit java profiles show that this
connection overhead is pretty significant on the DataNode.
> I wrote a simple microbenchmark program which does many iterations of pread() from different
offsets of a large file. I hacked DFSClient/DataNode code to re-use the same connection/DataNode
request handler thread. The performance improvement was 7% when the data is served from disk
and 80% when the data is served from the OS page cache.
