> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug

> Affects Versions: 2.5.0

> Reporter: Gopal V
> Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.6.0

>
> SharedFileDescriptor factory should not allocate sparse files. Sparse files
> can lead to a SIGBUS later in the short-circuit reader when we try to read
> from the sparse file and memory is not available.
> Note that if swap is enabled, we can still get a SIGBUS even with a
> non-sparse file, since the JVM uses MAP_NORESERVE in mmap.
