    Description

      This is an umbrella JIRA for supporting Nonblocking HDFS Access.

      Currently, all the API methods are blocking calls – the caller is blocked until the method returns. It is very slow if a client makes a large number of independent calls in a single thread since each call has to wait until the previous call is finished. It is inefficient if a client needs to create a large number of threads to invoke the calls.

      We propose adding a new API to support nonblocking calls, i.e. the caller is not blocked. The methods in the new API immediately return a Java Future object. The return value can be obtained by the usual Future.get() method.
