Jing Zhao commented on HDFS-5563:
---------------------------------
bq. In the future, we can consider use fix-sized cache blocks so that it's easy
to find the cached data for read.
Sounds good. +1 pending Jenkins.
> NFS gateway should commit the buffered data when read request comes after
> write to the same file

> HDFS write is asynchronous and data may not be available to read immediately
> after write.
> One of the main reason is that DFSClient doesn't flush data to DN until its
> local buffer is full.
> To workaround this problem, when a read comes after write to the same file,
> NFS gateway should sync the data so the read request can get the latest
> content. The drawback is that, the frequent hsync() call can slow down data
> write.
