> Especially in shared HBase/MR situations, management of the OS buffer cache
> is important. Currently, running a big MR job will evict all of HBase's hot
> data from cache, causing HBase performance to really suffer. However, caching
> of the MR input/output is rarely useful, since the datasets tend to be larger
> than cache and not re-read often enough that the cache is used. Having access
> to the native calls {{posix_fadvise}} and {{sync_data_range}} on platforms
> where they are supported would allow us to do a better job of managing this
> cache.
