[jira] Created: (MAPREDUCE-1819) RaidNode should submit one job per Raid policy

RaidNode should submit one job per Raid policy
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-1819
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1819
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: contrib/raid
    Affects Versions: 0.20.1
            Reporter: Ramkumar Vadali


The RaidNode currently computes parity files as follows:
1. Using RaidNode.selectFiles() to figure out what files to raid for a policy
2. Using #1 repeatedly for each configured policy to accumulate a list of files. 
3. Submitting a mapreduce job with the list of files from #2 using DistRaid.doDistRaid()

This task addresses the fact that #2 and #3 happen sequentially. The proposal is to submit a separate mapreduce job for the list of files for each policy and use another thread to track the progress of the submitted jobs. This will help reduce the time taken for files to be raided.
