Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-5027:
--------------------------------------
> The client data-node should call name-node to obtain a new generation stamp
> any way, I believe this what Raghu meant?
Yes. I thought all the gen-stamp changes are done by NN.
It is a bit scary if generation can be changed by clients and datanodes. That
would be very different from rest of HDFS metadata management.
> Block report processing should compare gneration stamp

> 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.
