 The restriction "no overlapping ranges" was only initially enforced in
 the S3A connector, which would raise `UnsupportedOperationException`.
-Adding the range check as a precondition for all implementations guarantees
-consistent behavior everywhere.
+Adding the range check as a precondition for all implementations (Raw Local
+being an exception) guarantees consistent behavior everywhere.
+The reason Raw Local doesn't have this precondition is ChecksumFileSystem
+creates the chunked ranges based on the checksum chunk size and then calls
+readVectored on Raw Local which may lead to overlapping ranges in some cases.
+For details see [HADOOP-19291](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-19291)
+
 For reliable use with older hadoop releases with the API: sort the list of ranges
 and check for overlaps before calling `readVectored()`.
