Description
A new block allocations for a file scans the list of all known datanodes to find if the client that is a also a cluster node. If so, then it tries to allocate a replica locally. This check consumes plenty of CPU, especially if the number of datanodes in a cluster is large.
An optimization: if the client is also a cluster node, then cache a reference to the corresponding DatanodeDescriptor from the entry in pendingCreate. The method getAdditionalBlock() uses the cached DatanodeDescriptor and thus avoids scanning the entire list of datanodes.
