Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-5027:
---------------------------------------------
May be the problem is not with the block report, but rather with
{{nextGenerationStamp(Block)}}, which does not update generation stamp for the
block. The client should call name-node to obtain a new generation stamp any
way, I believe this what Raghu meant? So why do we not changing the gen stamp
of the block.
I also would like to see a unit test catching this bug.

> If a reported block has a different generation stamp then the one stored in
> the NameNode, the reported block will be considered as invalid. This is
> incorrect since blocks with larger generation stamp are valid.
