             Summary: Add a option to disable the data block cache for testing the performance of underlying file system
                 Key: HBASE-15338
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15338
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: integration tests
            Reporter: Liu Shaohui
            Assignee: Liu Shaohui


When testing and comparing the performance of different file systems(HDFS, Azure blob storage, AWS S3 and so on) for HBase, it's better to avoid the affect of the HBase BlockCache and get the actually random read latency when data block is read from underlying file system. (Usually, the index block and meta block should be cached in memory in the testing).

So we add a option in CacheConfig to disable the data block cache.

Suggestions are welcomed~ Thanks
