[jira] Updated: (HADOOP-3429) Increase the buffersize for the streaming parent java process's streams

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3429?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Amareshwari Sriramadasu updated HADOOP-3429:
--------------------------------------------

    Attachment: patch-3429.txt

Here is a patch increasing the buffer size of streaming parent java process's streams.

This shows a significant improvement in maps. 
I ran a streaming app which consumes the input, but does output anything. The input size was 1.2GB
The running times of 10 runs of the streaming app with and without the patch are given below.
||With Patch || Without Patch ||
|2mins, 43sec | 6mins, 13sec|
|2mins, 48sec | 7mins, 24sec|
|2mins, 55sec | 6mins, 27sec|
|3mins, 24sec | 8mins, 33sec|
|2mins, 46sec | 7mins, 44sec|
|2mins, 47sec | 5mins, 37sec|
|2mins, 59sec | 5mins, 23sec|
|2mins, 53sec | 5mins, 4sec|
|3mins, 28sec | 5mins, 14sec|

> We saw improved performance when we increased the buffersize for Pipes (HADOOP-1788). In the streaming case, the buffersize is 8K (default for BufferedOutputStream). We should set that to 128k.
