             Summary: BlockReaderLocal doesn't return -1 on EOF when doing zero-length reads
                 Key: HDFS-5762
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5762
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.4.0
            Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
            Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe


Unlike the other block readers, BlockReaderLocal currently doesn't return -1 on EOF when doing zero-length reads.  This behavior, in turn, propagates to the DFSInputStream.  BlockReaderLocal should do this, so that client can determine whether the file is at an end by doing a zero-length read and checking for -1.

One place this shows up is in libhdfs, which does such a 0-length read to determine if direct (i.e., ByteBuffer) reads are supported.
