    • The size of the TCP socket buffers are no longer hardcoded by default. Instead the OS now will automatically tune the size for the buffer.

    Description

      The DataStreamer and the Datanode use a hardcoded DEFAULT_DATA_SOCKET_SIZE=128K for the send and receive buffers of a write pipeline. Explicitly setting tcp buffer sizes disables tcp stack auto-tuning.

      The hardcoded value will saturate a 1Gb with 1ms RTT. 105Mbs at 10ms. Paltry 11Mbs over a 100ms long haul. 10Gb networks are underutilized.

      There should either be a configuration to completely disable setting the buffers, or the the setReceiveBuffer and setSendBuffer should be removed entirely.
