Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-4556:
--------------------------------------

The "main cause" (among others) seems to be because of incomplete clean up when 
a datanode is marked dead. 

Specifically, the pending requests for block deletions don't seem to be removed 
when  a node is marked dead.. These deletion requests might be sent after the 
datanode registers back again... but the state might be very different that 
time.
