-------------------------------------------

    Attachment: 3981_20080910.patch

3981_20080910.patch: 

> It looks like you forgot to include the class MD5MD5CRC32FileChecksum in the 
> patch.
added MD5MD5CRC32FileChecksum

> Why do you use the datanode's socket/opcode interface rather than adding a 
> method to ClientDatanodeProtocol?
There might be a RPC timeout problem.  So I use data transfer protocol instead 
of ClientDatanodeProtocol.

> WritableUtils#toByteArray can use io.DataOutputBuffer, no?
Moved WritableUtils#toByteArray to io.DataOutputBuffer and implemented it with 
DataOutputBuffer.

> DistCp#sameFile() should be changed to only get checksums when the lengths 
> differ.
Updated DistCp

> Need a distributed file checksum algorithm for HDFS

> Traditional message digest algorithms, like MD5, SHA1, etc., require reading 
> the entire input message sequentially in a central location.  HDFS supports 
> large files with multiple tera bytes.  The overhead of reading the entire 
> file is huge. A distributed file checksum algorithm is needed for HDFS.
