    Resolution: Duplicate

> Currently DFSInputStream can read only till the bytes written which were 
> written by the time of Opening it for reading. 
> But, later there can be more bytes written to same file.
> If client expects more data to  be available, then client can poll it 
> continuously for more data without re-opening the stream.
> One simple example use case for this is tailing logs files.
> Currently LocalFileSystem supports this.
