Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-7316:
-------------------------------------
bq. DFSInputStream#seek should really throw an EOFException if seeking beyond
the end of stream, but changing it to do that now would break compatibility =(
Actually, Java's RandomAccessFile API lets you seek way past the end of a file
with no exception. The next read() call will simply return -1. But asking for
"position()" on the file's channel continues to return the past-eof offset.
> Add public javadocs to FSDataInputStream and FSDataOutputStream
