+    <description>
+      The output stream buffer size of a DFSClient remote read. The buffer default value is 8KB. The buffer includes
+      only some request parameters that are: block, blockToken, clientName, startOffset, len, verifyChecksum,
+      cachingStrategy.
+      It is recommended to adjust the value according to the workload, which can reduce unnecessary memory
+      usage and the frequency of the garbage collection. A value of 512 might be reasonable.
