Bob Hansen commented on HDFS-9144:
----------------------------------
For clarification, these are all asynchronous (or at least primarily
asychronous) interfaces, perhaps with a Future-like blocking mechanism
> Refactor libhdfs into stateful/ephemeral objects

> Key: HDFS-9144
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9144
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: hdfs-client
> Affects Versions: HDFS-8707
> Reporter: Bob Hansen
>
> In discussion for other efforts, we decided that we should separate several
> concerns:
> * A posix-like FileSystem/FileHandle object (stream-based, positional reads)
> * An ephemeral ReadOperation object that holds the state for
> reads-in-progress, which consumes
> * An immutable FileInfo object which holds the block map and file size (and
> other metadata about the file that we assume will not change over the life of
> the file)
