  * If there is a Checksum error, it retries a different replica
  * If the buf does not have enough space to hold the chunk, throws an 
IllegalArgumentException

int readVerifiedChunk( byte[] buf, int offset );

/** read a chunk into buf at offset.
  * It ends at the a checksum boundary or end of file or at any pos which could 
be checksum verified, for example, at a block boundary in block-level-crc dfs
  * data read have not been checksum verified
  * If the buf does not have enough space to hold the chunk, throws an 
IllegalArgumentException
  * returns the number of bytes read; -1 if end of file
  */
abstract int readChunk( byte[] buf, int offset, int len) throws IOException;

/** read a checksum */
abstract long readChecksum() throws IOException;

This sounds fine. Except that that we don't need to {{extend FSInputStream}}. 
This is just a utility. Any one who wants use this can implement this.

> Comment from Doug in HADOOP-1134:
> I'd prefer it if the CRC code could be shared with CheckSumFileSystem. In 
> particular, it seems to me that FSInputChecker and FSOutputSummer could be 
> extended to support pluggable sources and sinks for checksums, respectively, 
> and DFSDataInputStream and DFSDataOutputStream could use these. Advantages of 
> this are: (a) single implementation of checksum logic to debug and maintain; 
> (b) keeps checksumming as close to possible to data generation and use. This 
> patch computes checksums after data has been buffered, and validates them 
> before it is buffered. We sometimes use large buffers and would like to guard 
> against in-memory errors. The current checksum code catches a lot of such 
> errors. So we should compute checksums after minimal buffering (just 
> bytesPerChecksum, ideally) and validate them at the last possible moment 
> (e.g., through the use of a small final buffer with a larger buffer behind 
> it). I do not think this will significantly affect performance, and data 
> integrity is a high priority.
