sorry - this one includes the TestFuseDFS.java in the right place.

> Affects Versions: 0.18.1
> Reporter: Brian Bockelman
> Fix For: 0.18.2

> If multiple threads in the same process perform file system reads, then
> fuse-dfs causes various problems due to the per-context buffer. I've seen
> this reflected in segmentation violations and corruptions.
> I'll attach a proposed patch which takes the "easy way" out - I surround all
> calls to dfs_read with a mutex. You will obviously get performance
> degradations through thrashing if the threads are reading different parts of
> the file (but for our application, the multi-threaded reads are very, very
> infrequent.
> If we want to have fuse-dfs writes/reads in 0.19 or 0.20, we'll probably need
> to do the same thing with writes.
> This patch could be easily integrated as stands, or a more elaborate approach
> could be taken - per-thread buffers maybe?
> Thanks as always for looking into this,
> Brian
