------------------------------
I'll take care of this anyways. Should do it before I submit my patch. Otherwise, mine won't work so well.

> We found a strange problem in our read test.
> It is a 5 nodes cluster.Four of our 5 regionservers set "hfile.block.cache.size"=0.4, one of them is 0.1(we call it node A). When we random read from a 2TB data table we found node A's network reached 100MB, and others are less than 10MB. So the read speed is low.
> We set node A's "hfile.block.cache.size"=0.2, then all the nodes's network are 10MB, that's right. To find why is this we debug with btrace and find "readBlock" in HFile.Reader become abnormal.We know hbase read a block which is 64 KB from disks and put it into blockcache. But when we set "hfile.block.cache.size"=0.1, it is not 64KB, it is 5~6MB one time after about 1 minute we restart hbase.
> Why not 64 KB? The btrace code and results are in the attachments.
