Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-4538:
---------------------------------------
bq. No, the configuration parameters are not different. There is an additional
parameter, dfs.client.use.legacy.blockreader.local, which can be set to true to
use the legacy block reader.
I think we should start adding description of what a change is doing so that it
is easy to understand the change being done without having to look at the patch.
What is the need for config parameter
"dfs.client.use.legacy.blockreader.local"?
> allow use of legacy blockreader

> As described in the mailing list discussion, let's enable this.
