Chris Nauroth commented on HDFS-8943:
-------------------------------------
It's unclear to me why the HBase code treats partial read as an error. In
general, applications do need to be prepared for a partial read and react
accordingly (such as a read loop). I agree that a corresponding HBase jira
would be a good idea so that we can discuss further with that community. Thank
you, Shradha.

> With the default Webhdfs server implementation the read apis in
> ByteRangeInputStream work as expected reading the correct number of bytes for
> these apis :
> {{public int read(byte b[], int off, int len)}}
> {{public int read(long position, byte[] buffer, int offset, int length)}}
> But when a custom Webhdfs server implementation is plugged in which uses
> chunked Transfer-encoding, these apis read only the first chunk. Simple fix
> would be to loop and read till bytes specified similar to {{readfully()}}
