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

[~vrodionov], I have a quite simple patch that would allow compaction to have their own, private readers. With what you've seen, would that be a benefit?

> HBase grinds to a halt when many threads scan along the same set of blocks and neither read short circuit is nor block caching is enabled for the dfs client ... disabling the block cache makes sense on very large scans.
> It turns out that synchronizing in istream in HFileBlock.readAtOffset is the culprit.
