Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1034:
-----------------------------------

A bit of manual readahead on the checksum file could theoretically have the 
same benefit without the problem Jay mentioned. The Checksum file is opened 
with a buffer, right? In that case, do we expect to see a big benefit?

> Enhance datanode to read data and checksum file in parallel

> In the current HDFS implementation, a read of a block issued to the datanode 
> results in a disk access to the checksum file followed by a disk access to 
> the checksum file. It would be nice to be able to do these two IOs in 
> parallel to reduce read latency.
