    Description

      Review uses of the FS APIs in applications using the Hadoop FS API to access filesystems; identify suboptimal uses and tune them for better performance against HDFS and object stores

      • Assume arbitrary Hadoop 2.x releases: make no changes which are known to make operations on older versions of Hadoop slower
      • Do propose those changes which deliver speedups in later versions of Hadoop, while not impacting older versions, or risk of causing scalability problems.
      • Add more tests, especially scalable ones which also display metrics.
      • Use standard benchmarks and optimization tools to identify hotspots.
      • Use FS behaviour as verified in the FS contract tests as evidence that filesystems correctly implement the Hadoop FS APIs. If a use of an API call is made which hints at the expectation of different/untested behaviours, leave alone and add new tests to the Hadoop FS contract to determine cross-FS semantics.
      • Focus on the startup, split calculation and directory scanning operations: the ones which slow down entire queries.
      • Eliminate use of isDirectory(), getLength(), exists() if a followon operation (getStatus(),delete(), ... makes the use redundant.
      • Assume that FileStatus entries are not cached; the cost of creating them is 1 RPC call against HDFS, 1+ HTTPS call against object stores.
      • Locate calls to the listing operations, identify speedups, especially on recursive directory scans.
      • Identify suboptimal seek patterns (backwards as well as forwards) and attempt to reduce/eliminate through reordering and result caching.
      • Try to reuse the results of previous operations (e.g FileStatus instances) in follow-on calls.
      • Commonly used file formats (e.g ORC) will have transitive benefits.
      • Frameworks to use predicate pushdown where this delivers speedups
      • Document best practises identified and implemented.
