I looked at HADOOP-6311 recently when deciding if I wanted to port the full
FD-passing bits of HDFS-347 onto CDH3B3. I see Owen changed his -1 to -0, but
that's not really comforting. How likely is this to go in? Would this go in to
CDH if I posted a patch for HADOOP-6311 and HDFS-347?
My aim here is a fast local read path that respects security, obviously,
something that I won't be supporting myself in production against an
increasingly diverging upstream.
