[jira] Created: (HBASE-1012) [performance] Try doctoring a dfsclient so it shortcircuits hdfs when blocks are local

[performance] Try doctoring a dfsclient so it shortcircuits hdfs when blocks are local
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-1012
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1012
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: stack


Ning Li up on list has stated that getting blocks using hdfs though the block is local takes almost the same amount of time as accesing the block over the network.  See if can do something smarter when the data is known to be local short-circuiting hdfs if we can in a subclass of DFSClient (George Porter suggestion).

------------------------------

Leave this issue open I'd say.  Todd Lipcon has made nice progress over in HADOOP-4801.  There is critical pushback, "why such a difference -- maybe we should look more into why the canonical path is so slow", but the numbers are too good to leave on the table.
