code: public static InStream create(String name, FSDataInputStream file, long streamOffset,
        int streamLength, CompressionCodec codec, int bufferSize) throws IOException {
  
      return create(name, file, streamOffset, streamLength, codec, bufferSize, true, 1);
    }
docs: This should be used for creating streams to read file metadata, e.g. the footer, not for
  data in columns.
