Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-5182:
-----------------------------------

bq. It's edge-triggered in the sense that both the DN and the client send 
notifications when something changes

Hrm, so that means that the data xceiver protocol would become bidirectional 
instead of a simple request/response protocol? This seems like it could get 
kind of hairy.

> BlockReaderLocal must allow zero-copy  reads only when the DN believes it's 
> valid

> BlockReaderLocal must allow zero-copy reads only when the DN believes it's 
> valid.  This implies adding a new field to the response to 
> REQUEST_SHORT_CIRCUIT_FDS.  We also need some kind of heartbeat from the 
> client to the DN, so that the DN can inform the client when the mapped region 
> is no longer locked into memory.
