[jira] [Comment Edited] (HBASE-25524) Region Servers should give some indication that short-circuit reads are configured properly and working

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25524?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17349651#comment-17349651 ]

> but we can use the FSDataInputStreamWrapper we maintain to read the file and then check if the read happened via SCR / zero copy

[~busbey]  If the canary file isn't written/persistent local to the system, wouldn't that fail our purpose of ensuring SCR is working ? Sorry, looks like I am missing some context here.

> Going through the exercise of confirming short-circuit reads turns out to be quite a chore. 2.3.0 added a new metric, but metrics only get tickled when there's traffic that happens to use the feature. This is not very convenient for an operator who has taken a cluster out of service for maintenance.
> It would be nice if the rs process could perform some test and emitted some confirmation of the status of this otherwise transparent feature. After confirmation, it could light up a boolean metric value and/or add mention of it to the info page.
