That's a great Idea, but [the method JavaDoc 
claims|https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/ba66f3b454a5f6ea84f2cf7ac0082c555e2954a7/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/fs/PositionedReadable.java#L59]
 that file offset is not changed after the method invocation. This means we 
have to seek back to the initial position to leave the file offset unchanged, 
don't we?

>          Components: fs
>    Affects Versions: 2.1.0-beta, 1.3.0, 3.0.0-alpha1

> {{FSDataInputStream.readFully(offset,data)}} doesn't work even if the 
> offset==the current location -because it always seeks to the offset and seeks 
> back. No seek => Exception.
> We could optimise {{FSDataInputStream.readFully(offset,data)}} to eliminate 
> the seeks on these operations -which would have tangible benefits for those 
> filesystems where seek is expensive (remote blobstores). It would also let 
> you use readFully against filesystems without seeks, provided you are only 
> reading from the current location.
