Junping Du commented on HDFS-7694:
----------------------------------
bq. Is there compatibility concern for backporting this to 2.6 branch?
I don't think so, after checking the patch and from description above "This
could be added to the existing APIs as an optional interface." [~cmccabe], what
do you think?
> FSDataInputStream should support "unbuffer"

> For applications that have many open HDFS (or other Hadoop filesystem) files,
> it would be useful to have an API to clear readahead buffers and sockets.
> This could be added to the existing APIs as an optional interface, in much
> the same way as we added setReadahead / setDropBehind / etc.
