Steve Loughran commented on HDFS-6803:
--------------------------------------
HADOOP-10938 is now raising the discussion on what the DFS thread safety model
should be, HDFS-6813 looking at the webhdfs view, where the time for read &
seek operations to complete can be significant.
> Documenting DFSClient#DFSInputStream expectations reading and preading in
> concurrent context

> Key: HDFS-6803
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6803
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: hdfs-client
> Affects Versions: 2.4.1
> Reporter: stack
> Attachments: DocumentingDFSClientDFSInputStream (1).pdf
>
>
> Reviews of the patch posted the parent task suggest that we be more explicit
> about how DFSIS is expected to behave when being read by contending threads.
> It is also suggested that presumptions made internally be made explicit
> documenting expectations.
> Before we put up a patch we've made a document of assertions we'd like to
> make into tenets of DFSInputSteam. If agreement, we'll attach to this issue
> a patch that weaves the assumptions into DFSIS as javadoc and class comments.
