-----------------------------
Component/s: hdfs-client
> FS API: Add a high-performance vectored Read to FSDataInputStream API
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-11867
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11867
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: hdfs-client
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Gopal V
> Assignee: Gopal V
> Priority: Major
> Labels: performance
>
> The most significant way to read from a filesystem in an efficient way is to
> let the FileSystem implementation handle the seek behaviour underneath the
> API to be the most efficient as possible.
> A better approach to the seek problem is to provide a sequence of read
> locations as part of a single call, while letting the system schedule/plan
> the reads ahead of time.
> This is exceedingly useful for seek-heavy readers on HDFS, since this allows
> for potentially optimizing away the seek-gaps within the FSDataInputStream
> implementation.
> For seek+read systems with even more latency than locally-attached disks,
> something like a {{readFully(long[] offsets, ByteBuffer[] chunks)}} would
> take of the seeks internally while reading chunk.remaining() bytes into each
> chunk (which may be {{slice()}}ed off a bigger buffer).
> The base implementation can stub in this as a sequence of seeks + read() into
> ByteBuffers, without forcing each FS implementation to override this in any
> way.
