    Description

      hdfsOpenFile() calls readDirect() with a 0-length argument in order to check whether the underlying stream supports bytebuffer reads. With DFSInputStream, the read(0) isn't short circuited, and results in the DFSClient opening a block reader. In the case of a remote block, the block reader will actually issue a read of the whole block, causing the datanode to perform unnecessary IO and network transfers in order to fill up the client's TCP buffers. This causes performance degradation.
