在我们目前使用的Hadoop 2.x版本当中,HDFS在写入时有两种选择卷(磁盘)的策略,一是基于轮询的策略(RoundRobinVolumeChoosingPolicy),二是基于可用空间的策略(AvailableSpaceVolumeChoosingPolicy)。
基于轮询的策略
“轮询”是一个在操作系统理论中常见的概念,比如进程调度算法中的轮询算法。其思想就是从对象1遍历到对象n,然后再从1开始。HDFS中轮询策略的源码如下,非常好理解。
public class RoundRobinVolumeChoosingPolicy<V extends FsVolumeSpi>
implements VolumeChoosingPolicy<V> {
public static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(RoundRobinVolumeChoosingPolicy.class);
private int curVolume = 0;
@Override
public synchronized V chooseVolume(final List<V> volumes, long blockSize)
throws IOException {
if(volumes.size() < 1) {
throw new DiskOutOfSpaceException("No more available volumes");
}
if(curVolume >= volumes.size()) {
curVolume = 0;
}
int startVolume = curVolume;
long maxAvailable = 0;
while (true) {
final V volume = volumes.get(curVolume);
curVolume = (curVolume + 1) % volumes.size();
long availableVolumeSize = volume.getAvailable();
if (availableVolumeSize > blockSize) {
return volume;
}
if (availableVolumeSize > maxAvailable) {
maxAvailable = availableVolumeSize;
}
if (curVolume == startVolume) {
throw new DiskOutOfSpaceException("Out of space: "
+ "The volume with the most available space (=" + maxAvailable
+ " B) is less than the block size (=" + blockSize + " B).");
}
}
}
}
基于轮询的策略可以保证每个卷的写入次数平衡,但无法保证写入数据量平衡。例如,在一次写过程中,在卷A上写入了1M的块,但在卷B上写入了128M的块,A与B之间的数据量就不平衡了。久而久之,不平衡的现象就会越发严重。
基于可用空间的策略
这个策略比轮询更加聪明一些。它根据一个可用空间的阈值,将卷分为可用空间多的卷和可用空间少的卷两类。然后,会根据一个比较高的概率选择可用空间多的卷。不管选择了哪一类,最终都会采用轮询策略来写入这一类卷。可用空间阈值和选择卷的概率都是可以通过参数设定的。
其源码如下。
public class AvailableSpaceVolumeChoosingPolicy<V extends FsVolumeSpi>
implements VolumeChoosingPolicy<V>, Configurable {
private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(AvailableSpaceVolumeChoosingPolicy.class);
private final Random random;
private long balancedSpaceThreshold = DFS_DATANODE_AVAILABLE_SPACE_VOLUME_CHOOSING_POLICY_BALANCED_SPACE_THRESHOLD_DEFAULT;
private float balancedPreferencePercent = DFS_DATANODE_AVAILABLE_SPACE_VOLUME_CHOOSING_POLICY_BALANCED_SPACE_PREFERENCE_FRACTION_DEFAULT;
AvailableSpaceVolumeChoosingPolicy(Random random) {
this.random = random;
}
public AvailableSpaceVolumeChoosingPolicy() {
this(new Random());
}
@Override
public synchronized void setConf(Configuration conf) {
balancedSpaceThreshold = conf.getLong(
DFS_DATANODE_AVAILABLE_SPACE_VOLUME_CHOOSING_POLICY_BALANCED_SPACE_THRESHOLD_KEY,
DFS_DATANODE_AVAILABLE_SPACE_VOLUME_CHOOSING_POLICY_BALANCED_SPACE_THRESHOLD_DEFAULT);
balancedPreferencePercent = conf.getFloat(
DFS_DATANODE_AVAILABLE_SPACE_VOLUME_CHOOSING_POLICY_BALANCED_SPACE_PREFERENCE_FRACTION_KEY,
DFS_DATANODE_AVAILABLE_SPACE_VOLUME_CHOOSING_POLICY_BALANCED_SPACE_PREFERENCE_FRACTION_DEFAULT);
LOG.info("Available space volume choosing policy initialized: " +
DFS_DATANODE_AVAILABLE_SPACE_VOLUME_CHOOSING_POLICY_BALANCED_SPACE_THRESHOLD_KEY +
" = " + balancedSpaceThreshold + ", " +
DFS_DATANODE_AVAILABLE_SPACE_VOLUME_CHOOSING_POLICY_BALANCED_SPACE_PREFERENCE_FRACTION_KEY +
" = " + balancedPreferencePercent);
if (balancedPreferencePercent > 1.0) {
LOG.warn("The value of " + DFS_DATANODE_AVAILABLE_SPACE_VOLUME_CHOOSING_POLICY_BALANCED_SPACE_PREFERENCE_FRACTION_KEY +
" is greater than 1.0 but should be in the range 0.0 - 1.0");
}
if (balancedPreferencePercent < 0.5) {
LOG.warn("The value of " + DFS_DATANODE_AVAILABLE_SPACE_VOLUME_CHOOSING_POLICY_BALANCED_SPACE_PREFERENCE_FRACTION_KEY +
" is less than 0.5 so volumes with less available disk space will receive more block allocations");
}
}
@Override
public synchronized Configuration getConf() {
return null;
}
private final VolumeChoosingPolicy<V> roundRobinPolicyBalanced =
new RoundRobinVolumeChoosingPolicy<V>();
private final VolumeChoosingPolicy<V> roundRobinPolicyHighAvailable =
new RoundRobinVolumeChoosingPolicy<V>();
private final VolumeChoosingPolicy<V> roundRobinPolicyLowAvailable =
new RoundRobinVolumeChoosingPolicy<V>();
@Override
public synchronized V chooseVolume(List<V> volumes,
long replicaSize) throws IOException {
if (volumes.size() < 1) {
throw new DiskOutOfSpaceException("No more available volumes");
}
AvailableSpaceVolumeList volumesWithSpaces =
new AvailableSpaceVolumeList(volumes);
if (volumesWithSpaces.areAllVolumesWithinFreeSpaceThreshold()) {
V volume = roundRobinPolicyBalanced.chooseVolume(volumes, replicaSize);
if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) {
LOG.debug("All volumes are within the configured free space balance " +
"threshold. Selecting " + volume + " for write of block size " +
replicaSize);
}
return volume;
} else {
V volume = null;
long mostAvailableAmongLowVolumes = volumesWithSpaces
.getMostAvailableSpaceAmongVolumesWithLowAvailableSpace();
List<V> highAvailableVolumes = extractVolumesFromPairs(
volumesWithSpaces.getVolumesWithHighAvailableSpace());
List<V> lowAvailableVolumes = extractVolumesFromPairs(
volumesWithSpaces.getVolumesWithLowAvailableSpace());
float preferencePercentScaler =
(highAvailableVolumes.size() * balancedPreferencePercent) +
(lowAvailableVolumes.size() * (1 - balancedPreferencePercent));
float scaledPreferencePercent =
(highAvailableVolumes.size() * balancedPreferencePercent) /
preferencePercentScaler;
if (mostAvailableAmongLowVolumes < replicaSize ||
random.nextFloat() < scaledPreferencePercent) {
volume = roundRobinPolicyHighAvailable.chooseVolume(
highAvailableVolumes, replicaSize);
if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) {
LOG.debug("Volumes are imbalanced. Selecting " + volume +
" from high available space volumes for write of block size "
+ replicaSize);
}
} else {
volume = roundRobinPolicyLowAvailable.chooseVolume(
lowAvailableVolumes, replicaSize);
if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) {
LOG.debug("Volumes are imbalanced. Selecting " + volume +
" from low available space volumes for write of block size "
+ replicaSize);
}
}
return volume;
}
}
}
这个策略可以在一定程度上削弱不平衡的现象,但仍然无法完全消除其影响。并且卷的可用空间只是诸多因素中的一个,仍然不够全面,磁盘I/O等指标也是比较重要的。但不管如何,它已经比纯轮询策略好得太多了。
修改卷选择策略
由hdfs-site.xml中的dfs.datanode.fsdataset.volume.choosing.policy属性来指定。可取的值为org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.fsdataset.RoundRobinVolumeChoosingPolicy或AvailableSpaceVolumeChoosingPolicy。
选择基于可用空间的策略,还有两个属性需要注意。
dfs.datanode.available-space-volume-choosing-policy.balanced-space-threshold
默认值10737418240,即10G。它的含义是所有卷中最大可用空间与最小可用空间差值的阈值,如果小于这个阈值,则认为存储是平衡的,直接采用轮询来选择卷。dfs.datanode.available-space-volume-choosing-policy.balanced-space-preference-fraction
默认值0.75。它的含义是数据块存储到可用空间多的卷上的概率,由此可见,这个值如果取0.5以下,对该策略而言是毫无意义的,一般就采用默认值。
