Each of these pread calls invoke > DFSInputStream.getFileLength() and DFSInputStream.getBlockAt(). These methods > are "synchronized", thus causing all the concurrent threads to serialize. It > would help performance to convert this to a Read/Write lock -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
