<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.

    See also dfs.client.block.write.replace-datanode-on-failure.policy
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.client.block.write.replace-datanode-on-failure.policy</name>

    dfs.client.block.write.replace-datanode-on-failure.enable is true.

    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.

<property>
  <name>dfs.image.transfer.timeout</name>
  <value>600000</value>
  <description>
        Timeout for image transfer in milliseconds. This timeout and the related
        dfs.image.transfer.bandwidthPerSec parameter should be configured such
        that normal image transfer can complete within the timeout.
        This timeout prevents client hangs when the sender fails during
        image transfer, which is particularly important during checkpointing.
        Note that this timeout applies to the entirety of image transfer, and
        is not a socket timeout.
  </description>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.image.transfer.bandwidthPerSec</name>

  <description>
        Maximum bandwidth used for image transfer in bytes per second.
        This can help keep normal namenode operations responsive during
        checkpointing. The maximum bandwidth and timeout in
        dfs.image.transfer.timeout should be set such that normal image
        transfers can complete successfully.
        A default value of 0 indicates that throttling is disabled.

<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.

    Indicate whether or not to avoid reading from &quot;stale&quot; datanodes whose

  <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

  </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).

  <name>dfs.namenode.invalidate.work.pct.per.iteration</name>

  <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>
  <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.

    This value may be set to either "3des" or "rc4". If nothing is set, then

    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

    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.
