A high level overview of this feature can also be found on [this](https://medium.com/pinterest-engineering/improving-efficiency-and-reducing-runtime-using-s3-read-optimization-b31da4b60fa0) blogpost. + +With prefetching, we divide the file into blocks of a fixed size (default is 8MB), associate buffers to these blocks, and then read data into these buffers asynchronously. We also potentially cache these blocks. Review Comment: good point, have removed -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
