> In some situations having a config to turn on/off observer reads dynamically 
> may be useful. For instance, some applications may be sensitive for data 
> freshness and want to always reach directly to active NN. In a more complex 
> scenario, services such as Presto may want to apply observer reads for 
> different types of queries. In this case, simply change 
> {{dfs.client.failover.proxy.provider.<nameservice>}} may not be enough, since 
> with FileSystem cache (which is usually turned on) will ignore the change and 
> still use the same FileSystem object.
> Here I'm proposing to add a flag in {{HdfsClientConfigKeys}}, such as 
> {{dfs.client.observer.reads.enabled}}, that can be used to dynamically turn 
> on/off observer reads. The FileSystem cache key should also take account of 
> this flag in its {{hashCode}} and {{equals}} impl, so that different 
> FileSystem objects will be used depending on the flag.
