Flavio Paiva Junqueira commented on HDFS-234:
---------------------------------------------

When you read from a BookKeeper ledger, it seems that you are reading the whole 
ledger before processing it. I can see two potential problems with it:

# If the ledger is large, then the process reading the ledger might end up 
consuming too much memory;
# It does not overlap reading the ledger with processing. It might be best to 
try to overlap reading from the ledger with processing the edits. I don't know 
what changes this suggestion implies, though.
