-------------------------------------
Hi, Colin. Thank you for picking this up. The patch looks good. Can you
please enhance {{TestShortCircuitCache}} to catch this problem, just to guard
against a regression in the future?

> v2.1
> Reporter: Giuseppe Reina
> Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe

> When HDFS shortcircuit is enabled, the file descriptors of the deleted HDFS
> blocks are kept open until the cache is full. This prevents the operating
> system to free the space on disk.
