HBase block cache".
INLINE COMMENTS
src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/io/hfile/HFileBlock.java:287 It looks
like onDiskDataSizeWithHeader does not include checksum but what this function
returns does. Could you please mention that this includes checksum in the
javadoc, and preferably also add a comment clarifying how this is different
from onDiskDataSizeWithHeader? Otherwise it would be confusing, since the
method and the field have very similar names.
src/test/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/io/hfile/TestHFileBlock.java:763 Could
you please use a constant instead of 0 for minor version?

> The current implementation of HDFS stores the data in one block file and the
> metadata(checksum) in another block file. This means that every read into the
> HBase block cache actually consumes two disk iops, one to the datafile and
> one to the checksum file. This is a major problem for scaling HBase, because
> HBase is usually bottlenecked on the number of random disk iops that the
> storage-hardware offers.
