Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HADOOP-5027:
------------------------------------------------
As suggested by Rob, if the reported block is ignored in NN, the data available
guarantee will not be as good as before. Specifically, the existing data
stored in the last block being reopened may not be replicated. I think we need
to work on the design first.
> 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.
