The document discusses optimizations made to improve the performance of Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) on ARM platforms. It details the testing methodology used and various optimizations tried, including using NEON to optimize the CRC32c checksum algorithm, replacing the PureJavaCrc32C class with a native implementation, and using direct buffers for data writes. Benchmark results show a reduction in CPU usage for both read and write paths after applying these optimizations. Further optimizations to disk I/O and tracking of Java virtual machines are suggested.
