> For some applications, it's convenient to specify a path to cache, and have
> HDFS automatically cache new data added to the path without sending a new
> caching request or a manual refresh command.
> One example is new data appended to a cached file. It would be nice to
> re-cache a block at the new appended length, and cache new blocks added to
> the file.
> Another example is a cached Hive partition directory, where a user can drop
> new files directly into the partition. It would be nice if these new files
> were cached.
> In both cases, this automatic caching would happen after the file is closed,
> i.e. block replica is finalized.
