Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HADOOP-5027:
------------------------------------------------
> May be the problem is not with the block report, but rather with
> nextGenerationStamp(Block), ...
nextGenerationStamp(Block) should not update the block information in the
NameNode since *the update may fail*. If the NameNode block gs is updated but
the DataNode block gs is not and the update fails. The the block in the
DataNode will be consider as invalid.
> I also would like to see a unit test catching this bug.
Sure, working on one.
> Block report processing should compare gneration stamp

> If a reported block has a different generation stamp then the one stored in

> incorrect since blocks with larger generation stamp are valid.
