seek(long) in DFSInputStream should catch socket exception for retry later
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-3778
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3778
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.17.1
            Reporter: LN


HADOOP-2346 introduced data read/write timeout. when data stream borken, 
DFSClient will retry in read/write methods, but no such mechanism found when 
seek(long) calling blockReader.skip(diff) (DFSClient.java #1582), will let 
IOException throw to application.  i met NPE when using MapFile in hbase.

i'm supposing in the seek(long) method, let done be 'false' will causing retry 
(via 'blockEnd = -1'), a patch will attached later for review.
