HBase block cache".
INLINE COMMENTS
src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/io/hfile/ChecksumUtil.java:73 Actually,
a new checksum object is created by every invocation of
ChecksumType.getChecksumObject(), so it should be thread-safe
src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/fs/HFileSystem.java:120 doing it
src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/fs/HFileSystem.java:164 will
restructure the comment, this feature is switched on by default.

> The current implementation of HDFS stores the data in one block file and the
> metadata(checksum) in another block file. This means that every read into the
> HBase block cache actually consumes two disk iops, one to the datafile and
> one to the checksum file. This is a major problem for scaling HBase, because
> HBase is usually bottlenecked on the number of random disk iops that the
> storage-hardware offers.
