Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-7694:
--------------------------------------------
I filed HDFS-7744 for the existing "seek after setReadahead" bug. It's not
good form to combine a new feature with a bugfix.
> FSDataInputStream should support "unbuffer"
> -------------------------------------------

> Key: HDFS-7694
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7694
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.7.0
> Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe

>
> For applications that have many open HDFS (or other Hadoop filesystem) files,
> it would be useful to have an API to clear readahead buffers and sockets.
> This could be added to the existing APIs as an optional interface, in much
> the same way as we added setReadahead / setDropBehind / etc.
