Hi,
Is there any known real applications that use NIO for reading stuff
with 4GB blocks?
I've never heard of that. However, I believe there may be some in the
future, or the operation system may support this. That's the reason I
suggest Harmony use system call to solve the problem, not cut long to a
integer in Harmony's Java or native code.
Currently the problem is that the portlib has ignored the difference
between Linux and windows, so we see no difference in Harmony, while RI
behaves differently.
And again, any sounds for TestNG? :)

As spec is not clear about how to deal with the argument greater
than Integer.MAX_VALUE, maybe we shall look more closely at what RI
does and
how the system call behaves.
I think it will be a good idea to let native code or even system
call itself treat with such affairs, provided that Harmony will
support some
64-bit platforms one day. Thus it may be not so wise to throw some
exception in java code if encountering the data longer than 32-bits.
Besides, whether we should behaves the same as RI, even if it is
different on different platforms? :)
