NameNode should not serve up a bad edits log
--------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-4004
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4004
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.17.1
            Reporter: Robert Chansler


A NameNode disk failure (apparently) resulted in the NameNode serving a bad 
edits log to the Secondary NameNode. The SNN observed the problem (good!), but 
had no alternative but to ask again for the log, and again get the same bad 
replica.

1. The NN could/should have observed the same fault as the SNN.
2. If a replica is known to be bad, the NN should serve a different replica, if 
available.
3. The SNN should have a way to report replica failure to the NN.
