Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HBASE-10052:
----------------------------------------------
[~enis] It would be interesting to experiment with using drop-behind on HBase's
block files. However, in my experiments at least, this wasn't a performance
win since HBase still relies on the OS page cache in some cases. It's been a
while since I did them, though.
> use HDFS advisory caching to avoid caching HFiles that are not going to be
> read again (because they are being compacted)

> HBase can benefit from doing dropbehind during compaction since compacted
> files are not read again. HDFS advisory caching, introduced in HDFS-4817,
> can help here. The right API here is {{DataInputStream#setDropBehind}}.
