Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-3638:
-------------------------------------

That makes sense. But should we be bothered about the degenerate case of having 
to write index files on disk when the memory limit for the index files is 
exhausted.

> Cache the iFile index files in memory to reduce seeks during map output 
> serving
