> The most significant way to read from a filesystem in an efficient way is to let the FileSystem implementation handle the seek behaviour underneath the API to be the most efficient as possible.
> A better approach to the seek problem is to provide a sequence of read locations as part of a single call, while letting the system schedule/plan the reads ahead of time.
> This is exceedingly useful for seek-heavy readers on HDFS, since this allows for potentially optimizing away the seek-gaps within the FSDataInputStream implementation.
> For seek+read systems with even more latency than locally-attached disks, something like a {{readFully(long[] offsets, ByteBuffer[] chunks)}} would take of the seeks internally while reading chunk.remaining() bytes into each chunk (which may be {{slice()}}ed off a bigger buffer).
> The base implementation can stub in this as a sequence of seeks + read() into ByteBuffers, without forcing each FS implementation to override this in any way.
