Description

STEP:
1, create a new EMPTY file
2, read it using webhdfs.

RESULT:
expected: get a empty file
I got: {"RemoteException":{"exception":"IOException","javaClassName":"java.io.IOException","message":"Offset=0 out of the range [0, 0); OPEN, path=/testFile"}}

First of all, [0, 0) is not a valid range, and I think read a empty file should be OK.
