--------------------------------------

What is the avg size of pread()? Could you attach your benchmark to the jira?

> preads() establish new connections per request. yourkit java profiles show that this connection overhead is pretty significant on the DataNode. 
> I wrote a simple microbenchmark program which does many iterations of pread() from different offsets of a large file. I hacked DFSClient/DataNode code to re-use the same connection/DataNode request handler thread. The performance improvement was 7% when the data is served from disk and 80% when the data is served from the OS page cache.
