> RCFile::sync(long) takes approx ~1 second everytime it gets called because of
> the inner loops in the function.
> From what was observed with HDFS-4710, single byte reads are an order of
> magnitude slower than larger 512 byte buffer reads.
> Even when disk I/O is buffered to this size, there is overhead due to the
> synchronized read() methods in BlockReaderLocal & RemoteBlockReader classes.
> Removing the readByte() calls in RCFile.sync(long) with a readFully(512 byte)
> call will speed this function >10x.
