Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HDFS-9924:
----------------------------------------

Hive is currently using hadoop-2.x line and is expected to continue using it in foreseeable future. So, if this feature is not available in 2.x it won't be useful for Hive (and thus Hive users) If that implies it has to be done on 2.x line using jdk7 future, we can live with that. That will still be an improvement than current state of the art.

> This is an umbrella JIRA for supporting Asynchronous 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 asynchronous 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.
