-------------------------------------------

if (close) {
- out.close();
out = null;
+ out.close();
in.close();
{code}
I think you have changed this by mistake?
I think, if we read different blocks data here, we need to map for each
separately right? So, cache gets filled quickly and what is the result with
this kind of scenario?
Also for smaller files, this may be overhead right as mapping overhead may be
more than reads. (can add minimum block size for mmap?)
Did you try implementing native call for unmap instead of depending on Sun
package. In fact I too introduced dependency on this cleaner code when I try
introducing this on write path at DNs in my internal branch. :-).
> enable HDFS local reads via mmap

> Currently, the short-circuit local read pathway allows HDFS clients to access
> files directly without going through the DataNode. However, all of these
> reads involve a copy at the operating system level, since they rely on the
> read() / pread() / etc family of kernel interfaces.
> We would like to enable HDFS to read local files via mmap. This would enable
> truly zero-copy reads.
> In the initial implementation, zero-copy reads will only be performed when
> checksums were disabled. Later, we can use the DataNode's cache awareness to
> only perform zero-copy reads when we know that checksum has already been
> verified.
