Optimize FSNamesystem.startFileInternal ---------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-1558 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1558 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Dmytro Molkov Assignee: Dmytro Molkov Priority: Minor Fix For: 0.23.0 Currently on file creation inside of FSNamesystem.startFileInternal there are three calls to FSDirectory that are essentially the same: dir.exists(src) dir.isDir(src) dir.getFileInode(src) All of them have to fetch the inode and then do some processing on it. If instead we were to fetch the inode once and then do all of the processing on this INode object it would save us two trips through the namespace + 2 calls to normalizePath all of which are relatively expensive. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
