> When we read from HDFS, we overread to pick up the next blocks header.
> Doing this saves a seek as we move through the hfile; we save having to
> do an explicit seek just to read the block header every time we need to
> read the body. We used to read in the next header as part of the
> current blocks buffer. This buffer was then what got persisted to
> blockcache; so we were over-persisting wrtiting out our block plus the
> next blocks' header (overpersisting 33 bytes). Parse of HFileBlock
> complicated by this extra tail. Fix.
