> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4184
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: binlijin
>
> HDFS now has the ability to use posix_fadvise and sync_data_range syscalls to
> manage the OS buffer cache.
> {code}
> When hbase read hlog the data we can set dfs.datanode.drop.cache.behind.reads
> to true to drop data out of the buffer cache when performing sequential reads.
> When hbase write hlog we can set dfs.datanode.drop.cache.behind.writes to
> true to drop data out of the buffer cache after writing
> When hbase read hfile during compaction we can set
> dfs.datanode.readahead.bytes to a non-zero value to trigger readahead for
> sequential reads.
> and so on...
> {code}
