Review comment:
       Based on the S3A experience (which didn't always read into a buffer, 
BTW), the "penalty" of having a large readahead range is there is more data to 
drain when you want to cancel the read (ie. a seek out of range). 
   That code does the draining in the active thread. If that were to be done in 
a background thread, the penalty of a larger readahead would be less, as you 
would only see a delay from the draining if there were no free HTTPS 
connections in the pool. Setting up a new HTTPS connection is expensive though. 
If there were no free HTTPS connections in the pool, you would be better off 
draining the stream in the active thread. Maybe.
   
   
   (Disclaimer: all my claims about cost of HTTPS are based on S3 +Java7/8, and 
S3 is very slow to set up a connection. If the ADLS Gen2 store is faster to 
negotiate then it becomes a lot more justifiable to drain in a separate thread)
