Improve backup-node sync performance by wrapping RPC parameters ---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-1583 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1583 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Components: name-node Reporter: Liyin Liang The journal edit records are sent by the active name-node to the backup-node with RPC: {code:} public void journal(NamenodeRegistration registration, int jAction, int length, byte[] records) throws IOException; {code} During the name-node throughput benchmark, the size of byte array _records_ is around *8000*. Then the serialization and deserialization is time-consuming. I wrote a simple application to test RPC with byte array parameter. When the size got to 8000, each RPC call need about 6 ms. While name-node sync 8k byte to local disk only need 0.3~0.4ms. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
