3310_20080516b.patch: my latest codes

*Question*: When updating a block (i.e. updating generation stamp and block 
length), what happens if a reader tries to read the block?  I guess the reader 
should get an exception.  However, how to tells whether a block is being 
updated?

> In order to support file append, a GenerationStamp is associated with each 
> block.  Lease recovery will be performed when there is a possibility that the 
> replicas of a block in a lease may have different GenerationStamp values.
> For more details, see the documentation in HADOOP-1700.
