dhruba borthakur updated HADOOP-922:
------------------------------------
Attachment: smallreadseek2.patch
If there is a forward seek within the current block, then do not re-issue the
block-read request to the datanode.
> Optimize small reads and seeks

> Key: HADOOP-922
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-922
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: dfs
> Affects Versions: 0.10.1
> Reporter: dhruba borthakur
> Assigned To: dhruba borthakur
> Attachments: smallreadseek2.patch
>
>
> A seek on a DFSInputStream causes causes the next read to re-open the socket
> connection to the datanode and fetch the remainder of the block all over
> again. This is not optimal.
> A small read followed by a small positive seek could re-utilize the data
> already fetched from the datanode as part of the previous read.
