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

> Oddly enough, these clients seem to have survived cluster reboots, namenode 
> restarts, ...

One of our HDFS design is to let client survives namenode restart.  And you 
just have shown that it works.  :)

> However, I'd claim that if the file fails, there shouldn't be any way 
> repeated reads should cause problems.

> That is, if read is called on DFSClient repeatedly even after errors, it 
> shouldn't cause any issues on the DN side.

I agree that we should protect our servers against denied of service attack.  
However, we are not in that stage yet.

Do you think the current patch is good?

> The NameNode continuously has an error in the commitBlockSynchronization.  
> This happens for ~5 blocks at a rate of 5-10Hz.  I have no idea when this 
> started happening because this has been going on for days, well past the 
> start of our current logs.
> This appears to be a new symptom in 0.19.0, but I have no idea what could be 
> causing it.
