                 Key: HADOOP-1248
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1248
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: dfs
    Affects Versions: 0.12.3
            Reporter: Hairong Kuang
             Fix For: 0.13.0


When I ran a test on a one-node dfs cluster, the test failed because of the 
exception listed below. First of all, I wonder why chooseTarget returns 0 
target when # of datanodes is 1. Secondly I think it would be nicer if 
startFile retries chooseTarget before throws the exception back to client.

java.io.IOException: Failed to create file /user/hairong/xxx on client 
127.0.0.1 because there were not enough datanodes available. Found 0 datanodes 
but MIN_REPLICATION for the cluster is configured to be 1.
