Haohui Mai commented on HDFS-7291:
----------------------------------
{code}
THROW(env, "java/io/IOException",
- "The function copyFileUnbuffered() is not supported on FreeBSD or Mac
OS");
{code}
It might make more sense to throw a {{UnsupportedOperationException}}.
> Persist in-memory replicas with appropriate unbuffered copy API on POSIX and

> HDFS-7090 changes to persist in-memory replicas using unbuffered IO on Linux
> and Windows. On Linux distribution, it relies on the sendfile() API between
> two file descriptors to achieve unbuffered IO copy. According to Linux
> document at http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/sendfile.2.html, this is
> only supported on Linux kernel 2.6.33+.
> As pointed by Haowei in the discussion below, FileChannel#transferTo already
> has support for native unbuffered IO on POSIX platform. On Windows, JDK 6/7/8
> has not implemented native unbuffered IO yet. We change to use
> FileChannel#transfer for POSIX and our own native wrapper of CopyFileEx on
> Windows for unbuffered copy.
