Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-6735:
--------------------------------------------
bq. re: tryReadZeroCopy removing the synchronization is fine, because it is
only called from (stateful) read(...) and pos is only used in the stateful read
path and hence needs to be guarded by the lock on <this> only.
Why not make it {{synchronized}} then? There is no extra overhead if we
already have the lock, and this makes it self-documenting.
> A minor optimization to avoid pread() be blocked by read() inside the same

> In current DFSInputStream impl, there're a couple of coarser-grained locks in
> read/pread path, and it has became a HBase read latency pain point so far. In
> HDFS-6698, i made a minor patch against the first encourtered lock, around
> getFileLength, in deed, after reading code and testing, it shows still other
> locks we could improve.
> In this jira, i'll make a patch against other locks, and a simple test case
> to show the issue and the improved result.
> This is important for HBase application, since in current HFile read path, we
> issue all read()/pread() requests in the same DFSInputStream for one HFile.
> (Multi streams solution is another story i had a plan to do, but probably
> will take more time than i expected)
