[jira] [Commented] (HAMA-445) Make configurable checkpointing

["ChiaHung Lin (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAMA-445?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13222397#comment-13222397 ] 

ChiaHung Lin commented on HAMA-445:
-----------------------------------

Can we refactor checkpoint() function to be executed in another thread? 

If I remember correctly, original checkpoint() execution makes use of main thread to save message bundle to hdfs. So if message bundle size is too large, this might delay the whole process. Even message bundle size is not huge, during sync() the process still need to wait after message bundle is saved to hdfs. Then 

it.remove();
messenger.transfer(addr, bundle);

can happen.

> We should extend the BSPJob to let the user set the checkpoint intervals.
> bq.  job.setCheckpointInterval(5);
> This method should put the parameter into the configuration of the job with a meaningful key, e.G. "bsp.checkpoint.interval".
> In the BSPPeerImpl we should check if this interval has been reached and make the checkpointing accordingly.
> Checkpointing gets called in BSPPeerImpl#sync(), there is already a condition which checks if checkpointing is enabled.
> Plus points:
> If you can provide an additional method in BSPJob that let's the user enable or disable checkpointing. Hint: Configuration key is: "bsp.checkpoint.enabled".
