Improve the speed of FileSystem object creation -----------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-1127 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1127 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 0.20.2, 0.20.1 Reporter: Zheng Shao Assignee: Zheng Shao It takes a long time to create a lot of {{DistributedFileSystem}} object via {{FileSystem.create}} or {{FileSystem.createNewInstance}} function. In our experience with scribe-hdfs, it can take up to 2 minutes for 100 such calls from each node of a cluster of 40 nodes. The reason for the delay is mainly because of the lock on the CACHE object. We should release the lock while creating new FileSystem objects. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
