[jira] [Created] (HDFS-14283) DFSInputStream to prefer cached replica

             Summary: DFSInputStream to prefer cached replica
                 Key: HDFS-14283
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14283
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.6.0
         Environment: HDFS Caching
            Reporter: Wei-Chiu Chuang


HDFS Caching offers performance benefits. However, currently NameNode does not treat cached replica with higher priority, so HDFS caching is only useful when cache replication = 3, that is to say, all replicas are cached in memory, so that a client doesn't randomly pick an uncached replica.

HDFS-6846 proposed to let NameNode give higher priority to cached replica. Changing a logic in NameNode is always tricky so that didn't get much traction. Here I propose a different approach: let client (DFSInputStream) prefer cached replica.

A {{LocatedBlock}} object already contains cached replica location so a client has the needed information. I think we can change {{DFSInputStream#getBestNodeDNAddrPair()}} for this purpose.
