dhruba borthakur resolved HADOOP-4866.
--------------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

After reading the comments on this JIRA and aftrer some discussion with 
Nicholas, we gathered that the infinite loop was probably created by a client 
application that continuously tried to open/append to the file. A code 
walk-through revealed that the DFSClient will attempt lease recovery 5 times 
per replica for that node. After that, it throws an IO error to the 
application. We also determined that the current patch is not required.

I am closing this issue for now, please feel free to reopen if you see it occur 
again.

> 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.
