Allen Wittenauer commented on HDFS-9924:
----------------------------------------

bq. your objection was for release in 2.8. Why did you revert from trunk and 
branch-2? 

It's pretty obvious this should be going into a feature branch and requiring a 
branch-merge vote.

I've been noticing a very disturbing trend of big features that require a lot 
of changes getting committed piecemeal over the past year. I really wish the 
PMC was more actively watching what is actually going on in the source tree 
because this type of behavior ultimately hurts stability.

> This is an umbrella JIRA for supporting Asynchronous HDFS Access.
> Currently, all the API methods are blocking calls -- the caller is blocked 
> until the method returns.  It is very slow if a client makes a large number 
> of independent calls in a single thread since each call has to wait until the 
> previous call is finished.  It is inefficient if a client needs to create a 
> large number of threads to invoke the calls.
> We propose adding a new API to support asynchronous calls, i.e. the caller is 
> not blocked.  The methods in the new API immediately return a Java Future 
> object.  The return value can be obtained by the usual Future.get() method.
