Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-18296:
-----------------------------------------
think we need to review this and
* don't range coalesce
* maybe copy buffers if we can't do a single GET which spans multiple blocks.
or get the header and tail of the first & last blocks into separate buffers
just for the checksumming
* use the new passed in release() method to release the blocks after or in the
presence of failures

> Key: HADOOP-18296
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-18296
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: common
> Affects Versions: 3.4.0
> Reporter: Mukund Thakur
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: fs
>
> As we have implemented merging of ranges in the ChecksumFSInputChecker
> implementation of vectored IO api, it can lead to memory fragmentation. Let
> me explain by example.
>
> Suppose client requests for 3 ranges.
> 0-500, 700-1000 and 1200-1500.
> Now because of merging, all the above ranges will get merged into one and we
> will allocate a big byte buffer of 0-1500 size but return sliced byte buffers
> for the desired ranges.
> Now once the client is done reading all the ranges, it will only be able to
> free the memory for requested ranges and memory of the gaps will never be
> released for eg here (500-700 and 1000-1200).
>
> Note this only happens for direct byte buffers.
