> I think that the HDFS client protocol should change like:
> /** The meta-data about a file that was opened. */
> class OpenFileInfo {
>   /** the info for the first block */
>   public LocatedBlockInfo getBlockInfo();
>   public long getBlockSize();
>   public long getLength();
> }
> interface ClientProtocol extends VersionedProtocol {
>   public OpenFileInfo open(String name) throws IOException;
>   /** get block info for any range of blocks */
>   public LocatedBlockInfo[] getBlockInfo(String name, int blockOffset, int 
> blockLength) throws IOException;
> }
> so that the client can decide how much block info to request and when. 
> Currently, when the file is opened or an error occurs, the entire block list 
> is requested and sent.
