---------------------------------------------
Great, Thank Kihwal.

but it may still cover certain rare failure modes.

Sorry, I did not get, what failures it can detect. Since there is no meta file
content updated with CRC, it can not verify CRCs right?

> Per discussion in HADOOP-8060, a way for users to specify a checksum type on
> create() is needed. The way FileSystem cache works makes it impossible to use
> dfs.checksum.type to achieve this. Also checksum-related API is at
> Filesystem-level, so we prefer something at that level, not hdfs-specific
> one. Current proposal is to use CreatFlag.
