Liang Xie commented on HDFS-5776:
---------------------------------

thanks for comments, probably "quorum read" is not accurate, just copy from 
fb-20 & 0.89-fb branches' naming.
The core logic is in pread op, send a callable read request against dn1, if no 
response until a timeout reach, then chooseDN will pick another DN to send the 
similar read request.

This idea is similar with Jeff Dean's : <The tail at scale-dean>, in that 
article, Jeff named a "Hedged requests", and a clever defer sending request 
optimization to limit the additional load.

> support quorum read in DFSClient
