> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha

>
> Webhdfs seeks involve closing the current connection, and reissuing a new
> open request with the new offset. The RPC layer caches connections so the DN
> keeps a lingering connection open to the NN. Connection caching is in part
> based on UGI. Although the client used the same token for the new offset
> request, the UGI is different which forces the DN to open another unnecessary
> connection to the NN.
> A job that performs many seeks will easily crash the NN due to fd exhaustion.
