modify writing policy to HDFS

[Karim Awara <ka...@kaust.edu.sa>]

Hi,

I understand the way file upload happens on HDFS, where the data node asks
the namenode for a pipe (64 MB) for writing chunks of the file to hdfs.

I want to change the source code of HDFS such that the datanode can have
multiple pipes opens in parallel, where i push the data to the pipe based
on it content.

so my question is:

1- Is it possible?  if yes, which classes might be responsible for that?
2- how can i track which classes/functions execute a command (for example
when executing a hdfs put command.. how to trace the function calls between
the namnode and datanode?).


Thanks.
