no optics on how effective it is but read latencies should show a marked improvement, especially if
good data locality, lots of random reads, and dataset is larger than available cache.
Other advanced configurations that you might play with, especially if shortcircuit functionality
is complaining in the logs, include `dfs.client.read.shortcircuit.streams.cache.size` and
`dfs.client.socketcache.capacity`. Documentation is sparse on these options. You'll have to
read source code.
