Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-5957:
--------------------------------------------
bq. Does that mean that we need to update the following documentation in
hdfs-default.xml?
Good find. I added that to HDFS-6046.
> Provide support for different mmap cache retention policies in
> ShortCircuitCache.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5957
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: hdfs-client
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Chris Nauroth
>
> Currently, the {{ShortCircuitCache}} retains {{mmap}} regions for reuse by
> multiple reads of the same block or by multiple threads. The eventual
> {{munmap}} executes on a background thread after an expiration period. Some
> client usage patterns would prefer strict bounds on this cache and
> deterministic cleanup by calling {{munmap}}. This issue proposes additional
> support for different caching policies that better fit these usage patterns.
