it is possible for the DFSClient to take a shortcut and it is possible for the DFSClient to take a "short circuit" and
read directly from disk instead of going through the DataNode when the read directly from disk instead of going through the DataNode when the
data is local. What this means for HBase is that the RegionServers can data is local. What this means for HBase is that the RegionServers can
read directly off their machine's disks instead of having to open a read directly off their machine's disks instead of having to open a
