>
> Currently, the short-circuit local read pathway allows HDFS clients to access
> files directly without going through the DataNode. However, all of these
> reads involve a copy at the operating system level, since they rely on the
> read() / pread() / etc family of kernel interfaces.
> We would like to enable HDFS to read local files via mmap. This would enable
> truly zero-copy reads.
> In the initial implementation, zero-copy reads will only be performed when
> checksums were disabled. Later, we can use the DataNode's cache awareness to
> only perform zero-copy reads when we know that checksum has already been
> verified.
