             Summary: Fix os::read and os::write to work with files in 
overlapped mode
                 Key: MESOS-8676
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-8676
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Andrew Schwartzmeyer
            Assignee: Andrew Schwartzmeyer


When fixing {{os::open}} to open real Windows {{HANDLE}} s to files in a 
default overlapped mode, we'll need to fix {{os::read}} and {{os::write}} to 
work with these. Since these functions are inherently synchronous, we'll just 
use overlapped I/O but wait for completion, making the action synchronous.

Caveat: when files on Windows are opened in overlapped mode, they no longer 
retain state about the offset. Because these functions currently use the CRT 
APIs {{_read}} and {{_write}}, they act like POSIX file descriptors which are 
advanced by N bytes per read and write. We can mimic this behavior by saving 
the offset state in the {{WindowsFD}} abstraction.
