Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-516:
----------------------------------

bq. I essentially see this as POC of what could/should be improved in HDFS for 
addressing latency issues. Contrib makes sense, but I would not expect this to 
go to production in this form and should be marked 'Experimental'.

> I created a method for low latency random reads using NIO on the server side 
> and simulated OS paging with LRU caching and lookahead on the client side.  
> Some applications could include lucene searching (term->doc and doc->offset 
> mappings are likely to be in local cache, thus much faster than nutch's 
> current FsDirectory impl and binary search through record files (bytes at 
> 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 marks are likely to be cached)
