Robert Chansler commented on HDFS-235:
--------------------------------------
Venkatesh may have an additional perspective, but the principal use case is for
data movement across grids with different versions. The objective is to move a
subset of file so large that naively copying the whole file is a poor idea. To
that end, multiple ranges or extra complexity to allow further repositioning
seems unnecessary, and a distraction.
