Write pipeline heartbeat interval should be determined by client timeout, not DN --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-917 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-917 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Components: hdfs client Affects Versions: 0.22.0 Reporter: Todd Lipcon For the dfs client timeouts to be more effective, they should be communicated to the DN on the start of a write, so that the DN can send heartbeats at a fast enough rate. Currently, the pipeline heartbeats are half the datanode's socket timeout, so a DFS client with a very low timeout will fail if it's not continuously writing application data. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
