Hello!

   This only works if all the requests are for the same file, then it is done 
for you automatically
   (assuming that these are write requests and there is not sync in between. 
It's impossible to do
    for reads for obvious reason that read is a synchronous operation and by 
the time we do second
    read request first one must have completed and returned the data).

Bye,
    Oleg
