Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-7336:
--------------------------------------
DFSInputStream *does* override this method (checked Hadoop-trunk). The
overridden method directly calculates the offset without locking as it should.
All is good on this front.
> HFileBlock.readAtOffset does not work well with multiple threads
> ----------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HBASE-7336
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7336
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Performance
> Reporter: Lars Hofhansl
> Assignee: Lars Hofhansl
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 0.94.4, 0.95.0
>
> Attachments: 7336-0.94.txt, 7336-0.96.txt

>
> HBase grinds to a halt when many threads scan along the same set of blocks
> and neither read short circuit is nor block caching is enabled for the dfs
> client ... disabling the block cache makes sense on very large scans.
> It turns out that synchronizing in istream in HFileBlock.readAtOffset is the
> culprit.
