  </description>
</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.

    ALWAYS: always add a new datanode when an existing datanode is removed.
    
    NEVER: never add a new datanode.

    DEFAULT: 
      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.

  <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.

  <value>1000000</value>
  <description>The number of extra transactions which should be retained
  beyond what is minimally necessary for a NN restart. This can be useful for
  audit purposes or for an HA setup where a remote Standby Node may have
  been offline for some time and need to have a longer backlog of retained

  Typically each edit is on the order of a few hundred bytes, so the default
  of 1 million edits should be on the order of hundreds of MBs or low GBs.

  NOTE: Fewer extra edits may be retained than value specified for this setting
  if doing so would mean that more segments would be retained than the number

<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>
  <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>
    Indicate whether or not to avoid writing to &quot;stale&quot; datanodes whose 
    heartbeat messages have not been received by the namenode

</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>
    *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%.

<property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.replication.work.multiplier.per.iteration</name>

    *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.

      encrypted even if dfs.encrypt.data.transfer is set to true. The
      default implementation returns false indicating that the channel 
      is not trusted.

</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.data.transfer.protection</name>
  <value></value>
  <description>
    A comma-separated list of SASL protection values used for secured
    connections to the DataNode when reading or writing block data.  Possible
    values are authentication, integrity and privacy.  authentication means
    authentication only and no integrity or privacy; integrity implies
    authentication and integrity are enabled; and privacy implies all of
    authentication, integrity and privacy are enabled.  If
    dfs.encrypt.data.transfer is set to true, then it supersedes the setting for
    dfs.data.transfer.protection and enforces that all connections must use a
    specialized encrypted SASL handshake.  This property is ignored for
    connections to a DataNode listening on a privileged port.  In this case, it
    is assumed that the use of a privileged port establishes sufficient trust.

<property>
  <name>dfs.data.transfer.saslproperties.resolver.class</name>
  <value></value>
  <description>
    SaslPropertiesResolver used to resolve the QOP used for a connection to the
    DataNode when reading or writing block data.  If not specified, the full set
    of values specified in dfs.data.transfer.protection is used while
    determining the QOP used for the connection. If a class is specified, then
    the QOP values returned by the class will be used while determining the QOP
    used for the connection.

<property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.audit.loggers</name>
  <value>default</value>
  <description>
    List of classes implementing audit loggers that will receive audit events.
    These should be implementations of org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.AuditLogger.
    The special value "default" can be used to reference the default audit
    logger, which uses the configured log system. Installing custom audit loggers

<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>

<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.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.client.cache.drop.behind.reads</name>
  <value></value>
  <description>
    Just like dfs.datanode.drop.cache.behind.reads, this setting causes the
    page cache to be dropped behind HDFS reads, potentially freeing up more
    memory for other uses.  Unlike dfs.datanode.drop.cache.behind.reads, 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.client.cache.readahead</name>
  <value></value>
  <description>
    When using remote reads, 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.

    When using local reads, this setting determines how much readahead we do in
    BlockReaderLocal.

    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.enabled</name>
  <value>true</value>
  <description>
    If this is set to false, the client won't attempt to perform memory-mapped reads.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.client.mmap.cache.size</name>
  <value>256</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.

    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.

    Note that you can still do zero-copy reads when this size is set to 0.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.client.mmap.cache.timeout.ms</name>
  <value>3600000</value>
  <description>
    The minimum length of time that we will keep an mmap entry in the cache
    between uses.  If an entry is in the cache longer than this, and nobody
    uses it, it will be removed by a background thread.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.client.mmap.retry.timeout.ms</name>
  <value>300000</value>
  <description>
    The minimum amount of time that we will wait before retrying a failed mmap
    operation.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.client.short.circuit.replica.stale.threshold.ms</name>
  <value>1800000</value>
  <description>
    The maximum amount of time that we will consider a short-circuit replica to
    be valid, if there is no communication from the DataNode.  After this time
    has elapsed, we will re-fetch the short-circuit replica even if it is in
    the cache.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.path.based.cache.block.map.allocation.percent</name>
  <value>0.25</value>
  <description>
    The percentage of the Java heap which we will allocate to the cached blocks
    map.  The cached blocks map is a hash map which uses chained hashing.
    Smaller maps may be accessed more slowly if the number of cached blocks is
    large; larger maps will consume more memory.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.datanode.max.locked.memory</name>
  <value>0</value>
  <description>
    The amount of memory in bytes to use for caching of block replicas in
    memory on the datanode. The datanode's maximum locked memory soft ulimit
    (RLIMIT_MEMLOCK) must be set to at least this value, else the datanode
    will abort on startup.

    By default, this parameter is set to 0, which disables in-memory caching.

    If the native libraries are not available to the DataNode, this
    configuration has no effect.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.list.cache.directives.num.responses</name>
  <value>100</value>
  <description>
    This value controls the number of cache directives that the NameNode will
    send over the wire in response to a listDirectives RPC.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.list.cache.pools.num.responses</name>
  <value>100</value>
  <description>
    This value controls the number of cache pools that the NameNode will
    send over the wire in response to a listPools RPC.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.path.based.cache.refresh.interval.ms</name>
  <value>30000</value>
  <description>
    The amount of milliseconds between subsequent path cache rescans.  Path
    cache rescans are when we calculate which blocks should be cached, and on
    what datanodes.

    By default, this parameter is set to 30 seconds.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.path.based.cache.retry.interval.ms</name>
  <value>30000</value>
  <description>
    When the NameNode needs to uncache something that is cached, or cache
    something that is not cached, it must direct the DataNodes to do so by
    sending a DNA_CACHE or DNA_UNCACHE command in response to a DataNode
    heartbeat.  This parameter controls how frequently the NameNode will
    resend these commands.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.datanode.fsdatasetcache.max.threads.per.volume</name>
  <value>4</value>
  <description>
    The maximum number of threads per volume to use for caching new data
    on the datanode. These threads consume both I/O and CPU. This can affect
    normal datanode operations.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.cachereport.intervalMsec</name>
  <value>10000</value>
  <description>
    Determines cache reporting interval in milliseconds.  After this amount of
    time, the DataNode sends a full report of its cache state to the NameNode.
    The NameNode uses the cache report to update its map of cached blocks to
    DataNode locations.

    This configuration has no effect if in-memory caching has been disabled by
    setting dfs.datanode.max.locked.memory to 0 (which is the default).

    If the native libraries are not available to the DataNode, this
    configuration has no effect.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.edit.log.autoroll.multiplier.threshold</name>
  <value>2.0</value>
  <description>
    Determines when an active namenode will roll its own edit log.
    The actual threshold (in number of edits) is determined by multiplying
    this value by dfs.namenode.checkpoint.txns.

    This prevents extremely large edit files from accumulating on the active
    namenode, which can cause timeouts during namenode startup and pose an
    administrative hassle. This behavior is intended as a failsafe for when
    the standby or secondary namenode fail to roll the edit log by the normal
    checkpoint threshold.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.edit.log.autoroll.check.interval.ms</name>
  <value>300000</value>
  <description>
    How often an active namenode will check if it needs to roll its edit log,
    in milliseconds.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.webhdfs.user.provider.user.pattern</name>
  <value>^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9._-]*[$]?$</value>
  <description>
    Valid pattern for user and group names for webhdfs, it must be a valid java regex.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.client.context</name>
  <value>default</value>
  <description>
    The name of the DFSClient context that we should use.  Clients that share
    a context share a socket cache and short-circuit cache, among other things.
    You should only change this if you don't want to share with another set of
    threads.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.client.read.shortcircuit</name>
  <value>false</value>
  <description>
    This configuration parameter turns on short-circuit local reads.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.domain.socket.path</name>
  <value></value>
  <description>
    Optional.  This is a path to a UNIX domain socket that will be used for
    communication between the DataNode and local HDFS clients.
    If the string "_PORT" is present in this path, it will be replaced by the
    TCP port of the DataNode.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.client.read.shortcircuit.skip.checksum</name>
  <value>false</value>
  <description>
    If this configuration parameter is set,
    short-circuit local reads will skip checksums.
    This is normally not recommended,
    but it may be useful for special setups.
    You might consider using this
    if you are doing your own checksumming outside of HDFS.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.client.read.shortcircuit.streams.cache.size</name>
  <value>256</value>
  <description>
    The DFSClient maintains a cache of recently opened file descriptors.
    This parameter controls the size of that cache.
    Setting this higher will use more file descriptors,
    but potentially provide better performance on workloads
    involving lots of seeks.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.client.read.shortcircuit.streams.cache.expiry.ms</name>
  <value>300000</value>
  <description>
    This controls the minimum amount of time
    file descriptors need to sit in the client cache context
    before they can be closed for being inactive for too long.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.datanode.shared.file.descriptor.paths</name>
  <value>/dev/shm,/tmp</value>
  <description>
    Comma separated paths to the directory on which
    shared memory segments are created.
    The client and the DataNode exchange information via
    this shared memory segment.
    It tries paths in order until creation of shared memory segment succeeds.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.client.use.legacy.blockreader.local</name>
  <value>false</value>
  <description>
    Legacy short-circuit reader implementation based on HDFS-2246 is used
    if this configuration parameter is true.
    This is for the platforms other than Linux
    where the new implementation based on HDFS-347 is not available.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.block.local-path-access.user</name>
  <value></value>
  <description>
    Comma separated list of the users allowd to open block files
    on legacy short-circuit local read.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.client.domain.socket.data.traffic</name>
  <value>false</value>
  <description>
    This control whether we will try to pass normal data traffic
    over UNIX domain socket rather than over TCP socket
    on node-local data transfer.
    This is currently experimental and turned off by default.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.reject-unresolved-dn-topology-mapping</name>
  <value>false</value>
  <description>
    If the value is set to true, then namenode will reject datanode 
    registration if the topology mapping for a datanode is not resolved and 
    NULL is returned (script defined by net.topology.script.file.name fails 
    to execute). Otherwise, datanode will be registered and the default rack 
    will be assigned as the topology path. Topology paths are important for 
    data resiliency, since they define fault domains. Thus it may be unwanted 
    behavior to allow datanode registration with the default rack if the 
    resolving topology failed.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.xattrs.enabled</name>
  <value>true</value>
  <description>
    Whether support for extended attributes is enabled on the NameNode.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.fs-limits.max-xattrs-per-inode</name>
  <value>32</value>
  <description>
    Maximum number of extended attributes per inode.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.fs-limits.max-xattr-size</name>
  <value>16384</value>
  <description>
    The maximum combined size of the name and value of an extended attribute in bytes.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.client.slow.io.warning.threshold.ms</name>
  <value>30000</value>
  <description>The threshold in milliseconds at which we will log a slow
    io warning in a dfsclient. By default, this parameter is set to 30000
    milliseconds (30 seconds).
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.datanode.slow.io.warning.threshold.ms</name>
  <value>300</value>
  <description>The threshold in milliseconds at which we will log a slow
    io warning in a datanode. By default, this parameter is set to 300
    milliseconds.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.startup.delay.block.deletion.sec</name>
  <value>0</value>
  <description>The delay in seconds at which we will pause the blocks deletion
    after Namenode startup. By default it's disabled.
    In the case a directory has large number of directories and files are
    deleted, suggested delay is one hour to give the administrator enough time
    to notice large number of pending deletion blocks and take corrective
    action.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.randomize-block-locations-per-block</name>
  <value>false</value>
  <description>When fetching replica locations of a block, the replicas
   are sorted based on network distance. This configuration parameter
   determines whether the replicas at the same network distance are randomly
   shuffled. By default, this is false, such that repeated requests for a block's
   replicas always result in the same order. This potentially improves page cache
   behavior. However, for some network topologies, it is desirable to shuffle this
   order for better load balancing.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.datanode.block.id.layout.upgrade.threads</name>
  <value>12</value>
  <description>The number of threads to use when creating hard links from
    current to previous blocks during upgrade of a DataNode to block ID-based
    block layout (see HDFS-6482 for details on the layout).</description>
</property>

</configuration>
