Contributions summary:Dongfang implemented the `FileReaderMap` and related functionalities to manage file streams within the query reader. This involved adding a `FileReaderMap` class to handle opened file streams and modifying the `ReaderManager` to utilize it. Additionally, the user updated the `ReadLockManager` to close the `FileReaderMap` after each request, ensuring resource management. These changes focused on improving the efficiency of file access and ensuring proper resource cleanup within the IoTDB system.
