             Summary: Reduce datanode hardlink thread
                 Key: HDFS-15610
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-15610
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: datanode
    Affects Versions: 3.1.4, 3.0.0
            Reporter: Karthik Palanisamy
            Assignee: Karthik Palanisamy


There is a kernel overhead on datanode upgrade. If datanode with millions of 
blocks and 10+ disks then block-layout migration will be super expensive during 
its hardlink operation.  Slowness is observed when running with large hardlink 
threads(dfs.datanode.block.id.layout.upgrade.threads, default is 12 thread for 
each disk) and its runs for 2+ hours. 

I.e 10*12=120 threads (for 10 disks)

 

Small test. 

 
||dfs.datanode.block.id.layout.upgrade.threads||Blocks||Disks||Time taken||
|12|3.3 Million|1|2 minutes and 59 seconds|
|6|3.3 Million|1|2 minutes and 35 seconds|
|3|3.3 Million|1|2 minutes and 51 seconds|

 

Tried same test twice and 95% is accurate (only a few sec difference on each 
iteration). Using 6 thread is faster than 12 thread because of its overhead.
