How Ozone manages read operations

The client requests the block locations corresponding to the key it wants to read. The Ozone Manager (OM) returns the block locations if the client has the required read privileges.

The following steps explain how Ozone manages read operations:

1. The client requests OM for block locations corresponding to the key to read.
2. OM checks the ACLs to confirm whether the client has the required privileges, and returns the block locations and the block token that allows the client to read data from the DataNodes.
3. The client connects to the DataNode associated with the returned Block ID and reads the data blocks.
