Vinayakumar B commented on HDFS-12964:
--------------------------------------

HDFS-6633 was created for the same purpose, but it was not pushed forward.
You can take a look at there as well.

Latest patch in HDFS-6633 exposes a method, {{pollnewData()}} by using which 
reader can get to know about whether any new data is added or not. An external 
wrapper can be used to make the blocking read.

> Read a opened file timely and effectively when it's being written by other

> One thread opens a HDFS file and keeps writing.  Another thread opens same 
> file and keeps reading it at the same time, also want to get the newest 
> content of file. that happens in many environments, for example, in some 
> message transmission applications. And it also requires the new content can 
> be read timely and effectively, for there maybe many tasks are working in 
> same time.
