</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.client.block.write.replace-datanode-on-failure.enable</name>
<value>true</value>
<description>
If there is a datanode/network failure in the write pipeline,
DFSClient will try to remove the failed datanode from the pipeline
and then continue writing with the remaining datanodes. As a result,
the number of datanodes in the pipeline is decreased. The feature is
to add new datanodes to the pipeline.
This is a site-wide property to enable/disable the feature.
When the cluster size is extremely small, e.g. 3 nodes or less, cluster
administrators may want to set the policy to NEVER in the default
configuration file or disable this feature. Otherwise, users may
experience an unusually high rate of pipeline failures since it is
impossible to find new datanodes for replacement.

Let r be the replication number.
Let n be the number of existing datanodes.
Add a new datanode only if r is greater than or equal to 3 and either
(1) floor(r/2) is greater than or equal to n; or
(2) r is greater than n and the block is hflushed/appended.

</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.namenode.datanode.registration.ip-hostname-check</name>
<value>true</value>
<description>
If true (the default), then the namenode requires that a connecting
datanode's address must be resolved to a hostname. If necessary, a reverse
DNS lookup is performed. All attempts to register a datanode from an
unresolvable address are rejected.
It is recommended that this setting be left on to prevent accidental
registration of datanodes listed by hostname in the excludes file during a
DNS outage. Only set this to false in environments where there is no
infrastructure to support reverse DNS lookup.

</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.datanode.readahead.bytes</name>
<value>4193404</value>
<description>
While reading block files, if the Hadoop native libraries are available,
the datanode can use the posix_fadvise system call to explicitly
page data into the operating system buffer cache ahead of the current
reader's position. This can improve performance especially when
disks are highly contended.
This configuration specifies the number of bytes ahead of the current
read position which the datanode will attempt to read ahead. This
feature may be disabled by configuring this property to 0.
If the native libraries are not available, this configuration has no
effect.
</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.datanode.drop.cache.behind.reads</name>
<value>false</value>
<description>
In some workloads, the data read from HDFS is known to be significantly
large enough that it is unlikely to be useful to cache it in the
operating system buffer cache. In this case, the DataNode may be
configured to automatically purge all data from the buffer cache
after it is delivered to the client. This behavior is automatically
disabled for workloads which read only short sections of a block
(e.g HBase random-IO workloads).
This may improve performance for some workloads by freeing buffer
cache spage usage for more cacheable data.
If the Hadoop native libraries are not available, this configuration
has no effect.

</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.datanode.sync.behind.writes</name>
<value>false</value>
<description>
If this configuration is enabled, the datanode will instruct the
operating system to enqueue all written data to the disk immediately
after it is written. This differs from the usual OS policy which
may wait for up to 30 seconds before triggering writeback.
This may improve performance for some workloads by smoothing the
IO profile for data written to disk.
If the Hadoop native libraries are not available, this configuration
has no effect.

<description>
How often, in seconds, the StandbyNode should ask the active to
roll edit logs. Since the StandbyNode only reads from finalized
log segments, the StandbyNode will only be as up-to-date as how
often the logs are rolled. Note that failover triggers a log roll
so the StandbyNode will be up to date before it becomes active.

Indicate whether or not to avoid reading from &quot;stale&quot; datanodes whose
heartbeat messages have not been received by the namenode
for more than a specified time interval. Stale datanodes will be
moved to the end of the node list returned for reading. See

<value>false</value>
<description>
Indicate whether or not to avoid writing to &quot;stale&quot; datanodes whose
heartbeat messages have not been received by the namenode
for more than a specified time interval. Writes will avoid using
stale datanodes unless more than a configured ratio
(dfs.namenode.write.stale.datanode.ratio) of datanodes are marked as
stale. See dfs.namenode.avoid.read.stale.datanode for a similar setting
for reads.
</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.namenode.stale.datanode.interval</name>
<value>30000</value>
<description>
Default time interval for marking a datanode as "stale", i.e., if
the namenode has not received heartbeat msg from a datanode for
more than this time interval, the datanode will be marked and treated
as "stale" by default. The stale interval cannot be too small since
otherwise this may cause too frequent change of stale states.
We thus set a minimum stale interval value (the default value is 3 times
of heartbeat interval) and guarantee that the stale interval cannot be less
than the minimum value. A stale data node is avoided during lease/block
recovery. It can be conditionally avoided for reads (see
dfs.namenode.avoid.read.stale.datanode) and for writes (see
dfs.namenode.avoid.write.stale.datanode).
</description>

</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.namenode.invalidate.work.pct.per.iteration</name>
<value>0.32f</value>
<description>
*Note*: Advanced property. Change with caution.
This determines the percentage amount of block
invalidations (deletes) to do over a single DN heartbeat
deletion command. The final deletion count is determined by applying this
percentage to the number of live nodes in the system.
The resultant number is the number of blocks from the deletion list
chosen for proper invalidation over a single heartbeat of a single DN.
Value should be a positive, non-zero percentage in float notation (X.Yf),
with 1.0f meaning 100%.
</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.namenode.replication.work.multiplier.per.iteration</name>
<value>2</value>
<description>
*Note*: Advanced property. Change with caution.
This determines the total amount of block transfers to begin in
parallel at a DN, for replication, when such a command list is being
sent over a DN heartbeat by the NN. The actual number is obtained by
multiplying this multiplier with the total number of live nodes in the
cluster. The result number is the number of blocks to begin transfers
immediately for, per DN heartbeat. This number can be any positive,
non-zero integer.

<property>
<name>dfs.datanode.available-space-volume-choosing-policy.balanced-space-threshold</name>
<value>10737418240</value> <!-- 10 GB -->
<description>
Only used when the dfs.datanode.fsdataset.volume.choosing.policy is set to
org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.fsdataset.AvailableSpaceVolumeChoosingPolicy.
This setting controls how much DN volumes are allowed to differ in terms of
bytes of free disk space before they are considered imbalanced. If the free
space of all the volumes are within this range of each other, the volumes
will be considered balanced and block assignments will be done on a pure
round robin basis.
</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.datanode.available-space-volume-choosing-policy.balanced-space-preference-fraction</name>
<value>0.75f</value>
<description>
Only used when the dfs.datanode.fsdataset.volume.choosing.policy is set to
org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.fsdataset.AvailableSpaceVolumeChoosingPolicy.
This setting controls what percentage of new block allocations will be sent
to volumes with more available disk space than others. This setting should
be in the range 0.0 - 1.0, though in practice 0.5 - 1.0, since there should
be no reason to prefer that volumes with less available disk space receive
more block allocations.
</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.namenode.edits.noeditlogchannelflush</name>
<value>false</value>
<description>
Specifies whether to flush edit log file channel. When set, expensive
FileChannel#force calls are skipped and synchronous disk writes are
enabled instead by opening the edit log file with RandomAccessFile("rws")
flags. This can significantly improve the performance of edit log writes
on the Windows platform.
Note that the behavior of the "rws" flags is platform and hardware specific
and might not provide the same level of guarantees as FileChannel#force.
For example, the write will skip the disk-cache on SAS and SCSI devices
while it might not on SATA devices. This is an expert level setting,
change with caution.
</description>

<property>
<name>dfs.client.cache.drop.behind.writes</name>
<value></value>
<description>
Just like dfs.datanode.drop.cache.behind.writes, this setting causes the
page cache to be dropped behind HDFS writes, potentially freeing up more
memory for other uses. Unlike dfs.datanode.drop.cache.behind.writes, this
is a client-side setting rather than a setting for the entire datanode.
If present, this setting will override the DataNode default.
If the native libraries are not available to the DataNode, this
configuration has no effect.

<property>
<name>dfs.client.cache.readahead</name>
<value></value>
<description>
Just like dfs.datanode.readahead.bytes, this setting causes the datanode to
read ahead in the block file using posix_fadvise, potentially decreasing
I/O wait times. Unlike dfs.datanode.readahead.bytes, this is a client-side
setting rather than a setting for the entire datanode. If present, this
setting will override the DataNode default.
If the native libraries are not available to the DataNode, this
configuration has no effect.
</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.namenode.enable.retrycache</name>
<value>true</value>
<description>
This enables the retry cache on the namenode. Namenode tracks for
non-idempotent requests the corresponding response. If a client retries the
request, the response from the retry cache is sent. Such operations
are tagged with annotation @AtMostOnce in namenode protocols. It is
recommended that this flag be set to true. Setting it to false, will result
in clients getting failure responses to retried request. This flag must
be enabled in HA setup for transparent fail-overs.
The entries in the cache have expiration time configurable
using dfs.namenode.retrycache.expirytime.millis.
</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.namenode.retrycache.expirytime.millis</name>
<value>600000</value>
<description>
The time for which retry cache entries are retained.
</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.namenode.retrycache.heap.percent</name>
<value>0.03f</value>
<description>
This parameter configures the heap size allocated for retry cache
(excluding the response cached). This corresponds to approximately
4096 entries for every 64MB of namenode process java heap size.
Assuming retry cache entry expiration time (configured using
dfs.namenode.retrycache.expirytime.millis) of 10 minutes, this
enables retry cache to support 7 operations per second sustained
for 10 minutes. As the heap size is increased, the operation rate
linearly increases.
</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.client.mmap.cache.size</name>
<value>1024</value>
<description>
When zero-copy reads are used, the DFSClient keeps a cache of recently used
memory mapped regions. This parameter controls the maximum number of
entries that we will keep in that cache.
If this is set to 0, we will not allow mmap.
The larger this number is, the more file descriptors we will potentially
use for memory-mapped files. mmaped files also use virtual address space.
You may need to increase your ulimit virtual address space limits before
increasing the client mmap cache size.
</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.client.mmap.cache.timeout.ms</name>
<value>900000</value>
