----------------------------------
Summary: Add a hidden configuration for NameNode to generate fake
block locations
Key: HDFS-13826
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-13826
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: namenode
Reporter: Todd Lipcon
Assignee: Todd Lipcon
In doing testing and benchmarking of the NameNode and dependent systems, it's
often useful to be able to use an fsimage provided by some production system in
a controlled environment without actually having access to any of the data. For
example, while doing some recent work on Apache Impala I was trying to optimize
the transmission and storage of block locations and tokens and measure the
results based on metadata from a production user. In order to achieve this, it
would be useful for the NN to expose a developer-only (undocumented)
configuration to generate fake block locations and return them to callers. The
"fake" locations should be randomly distributed across a fixed set of fake
datanodes.
