> The DFS client currently uses a staging file on local disk to cache all user-writes to a file. When the staging file accumulates 1 block worth of data, its contents are flushed to a HDFS datanode. These operations occur sequentially.
> A simple optimization of allowing the user to write to another staging file while simultaneously uploading the contents of the first staging file to HDFS will improve file-upload performance.
