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

["Arpit Agarwal (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8069?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Arpit Agarwal resolved HADOOP-8069.
-----------------------------------

          Resolution: Fixed
       Fix Version/s: 2.6.0
                      3.0.0
    Target Version/s: 2.6.0  (was: 2.0.0-alpha, 3.0.0)
        Release Note: This change enables the TCP_NODELAY flag for all Hadoop IPC connections, hence bypassing TCP Nagling. Nagling interacts poorly with TCP delayed ACKs especially for request-response protocols.
        Hadoop Flags: Reviewed

Committed to trunk and branch-2, resolving with release note.

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

> In general, since Nagle's algorithm is only a defense against careless applications, it will not benefit a carefully written application that takes proper care of buffering; the algorithm has either no effect, or negative effect on the application.
> {quote}
> Since our IPC layer is well contained and does its own buffering, we shouldn't be careless.
