Ahmed Mahran updated HDFS-8416:
-------------------------------
           Description: 
In a Hadoop cluster configuration that employs a shared storage system, HDFS 
read and write operations are very expensive in terms of network bandwidth 
consumption.

For a DFS client to read a block from a remote datanode, the block is 
transmitted first from the shared storage to the datanode then from the 
datanode to the DFS client. Short circuiting the shared storage to datanode hop 
and allowing the client to directly access the shared storage would improve the 
performance substantially.

This blog post describes the issue and provides a hack for the remote read.
