Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HADOOP-3310:
------------------------------------------------
>how to tells whether a block is being updated?
When updating a block, the meta file is renamed to a tmp file at first. After
the update is done, the tmp file will be renamed to the new meta file (with the
new generation stamp.) It should work.
> Lease recovery for append

> 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.
