FSNamesystem#commitBlockSynchronization adds under-construction block locations 
to blocksMap

                 Key: HADOOP-5134
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5134
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: dfs
    Affects Versions: 0.18.2
            Reporter: Hairong Kuang
             Fix For: 0.19.1


>From my understanding of sync/append design, an under construction block 
>should not have any block locations associated with it in the blocksMap. So an 
>under construction block will not be managed by ReplicationMonitor.

However, if there is an error in the write pipeline, a lease recovery will 
trigger a call, commitBlockSynchronization, to NN. This call will add the 
successfully-recovered datanodes to blocksMap. This seems to violate the 
design. It should update the targets of the last block at INode instead.
