<title>Leveraging local data</title>
<para>Since Hadoop 1.0.0 (also 0.22.1, 0.23.1, CDH3u3 and HDP 1.0) via
<link xlink:href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2246">HDFS-2246</link>,
it is possible for the DFSClient to take a shortcut and
it is possible for the DFSClient to take a "short circuit" and
read directly from disk instead of going through the DataNode when the
data is local. What this means for HBase is that the RegionServers can
read directly off their machine's disks instead of having to open a
socket to talk to the DataNode, the former being generally much
faster<footnote><para>See JD's <link xlink:href="http://files.meetup.com/1350427/hug_ebay_jdcryans.pdf">Performance Talk</link></para></footnote>.
Also see <link xlink:href="http://search-hadoop.com/m/zV6dKrLCVh1">HBase, mail # dev - read short circuit</link> thread for
more discussion around short circuit reads.

First, the hdfs-site.xml needs to be amended. Set
the property <varname>dfs.block.local-path-access.user</varname>
to be the <emphasis>only</emphasis> user that can use the shortcut.
