Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1034:
-----------------------------------

Only scary thing about moving checksums to a different mountpoint is that the 
checksum file's metadata will be on a different journal than the data files. 
This might end up fine, but it's a little nervewracking in terms of what kind 
of consistency we get out of the FS - could cause some very subtle bugs.

Have we seen these issues to be a significant bottleneck?

> In the current HDFS implementation, a read of a block issued to the datanode 
> results in a disk access to the checksum file followed by a disk access to 
> the checksum file. It would be nice to be able to do these two IOs in 
> parallel to reduce read latency.
