[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-8069) Enable TCP_NODELAY by default for IPC

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8069?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14073779#comment-14073779 ] 

Arpit Agarwal commented on HADOOP-8069:
---------------------------------------

It makes a lot of sense to enable TCP_NODELAY by default. Any thoughts on moving forward with Todd's patch? I'd be +1 on changing the defaults while leaving the setting documented.

> I think we should switch the default for the IPC client and server NODELAY options to true. As wikipedia says:

> Since our IPC layer is well contained and does its own buffering, we shouldn't be careless.
