HDFS TestDFSIO performance with 1 mapper/file of 16G per node

Hi everyone,

I cannot seem to wrap my head around the TestDFSIO benchmark results. I
have a cluster of 8 nodes, the first one runs the NameNode and the
ResourceManager, the others each run a DataNode and a NodeManager. Each
node has 64G of RAM. I am using a block size for HDFS of 128M, and a
replication factor of 3. I'm running the benchmark with 7 map tasks, each
processing one file of 16G. The results are as follows:

I usually average over a number of runs, but this is just a single one. I
have seen much greater execution times for both the write and the read
phases (up to 2x the ones stated above). I have compared the performance to
XtreemFS, another distributed file system, and it achieves an average write
rate that is around 6x faster, and an average read rate that is around 2.5x
faster, however with a much lower standard deviation rate. Note that HDFS
outperforms XtreemFS in terms of TestDFSIO benchmark results with smaller
files (1G). I also don' understand why map tasks are being killed.

I noticed that quite some time is spent on GC, so I plotted some system
metrics for one node running a DataNode/NodeManager (the write phase stops
and the read phase starts at around 14:51):



I am wondering why the system RAM usage goes all the way up to the Yarn
container limit of around 60G, when only one 16G file is being written
to/read from on this node.​

So, to sum up a list of questions that I would like to ask your advice
about:

- Has anyone observed similar behavior/performance with HDFS and large
files?
- Which configuration parameters would I need to tweak in order to increase
performance, or which system properties do I need to examine for you to
give me helpful advice here?
- Why is the RAM consumption so high?
- Why is the reported standard deviation during read phases so high?

Thanks in advance for your time and effort!

Robert

Hi Robert,

I'm experiencing the same effect regarding the RAM consumption when running
TestDFSIO with huge files. I cound't really find out yet why this is
happening though.

One question regarding your setup: Are you running your cluster on bare
metal or virtualized?

Regards,
Andreas

Re: HDFS TestDFSIO performance with 1 mapper/file of 16G per node

Posted by Andreas Fritzler <an...@gmail.com>.
Hi Robert,

I'm experiencing the same effect regarding the RAM consumption when running
TestDFSIO with huge files. I cound't really find out yet why this is
happening though.

One question regarding your setup: Are you running your cluster on bare
metal or virtualized?

Regards,
Andreas
