Liang Xie commented on HDFS-1605:
---------------------------------
bq. We should write a test to demonstrate the improvement. I can do that unless
you have one around the place?
I think it's still too early to do it. We need to fix another hotspot about
BlockReaderLocal as well, just filed HDFS-5664 FYI.

> Hbase does concurrent preads from multiple threads to different blocks of the
> same hdfs file. Each of these pread calls invoke
> DFSInputStream.getFileLength() and DFSInputStream.getBlockAt(). These methods
> are "synchronized", thus causing all the concurrent threads to serialize. It
> would help performance to convert this to a Read/Write lock
