> - INodeFile.getName() is expensive since it involves quite a few string
> operations. The method is called in both ReplicationWork and
> ErasureCodingWork but the default BlockPlacementPolicy does not use the
> returned string. We should simply pass BlockCollection to reduce unnecessary
> computation when using the default BlockPlacementPolicy.
> - Another improvement: the return type of FSNamesystem.getBlockCollection
> should be changed to INodeFile since it always returns an INodeFile object.
