[jira] Created: (HDFS-1605) Convert DFSInputStream synchronized sections to a ReadWrite lock

Convert DFSInputStream synchronized sections to a ReadWrite lock
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HDFS-1605
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1605
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: hdfs client
            Reporter: dhruba borthakur
            Assignee: dhruba borthakur


Hbase does concurrent preads from multiple threads to different blocks of the same hdfs file. Each of these pread calls invoke DFSInputStream.getFileLength() and DFSInputStream.getBlockAt(). These methods are "synchronized", thus causing all the concurrent threads to serialize. It would help performance to convert this to a Read/Write lock
