                 Key: HDFS-642
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-642
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Hairong Kuang
            Assignee: Hairong Kuang
             Fix For: Append Branch


This jira intends to implement the third stage of block construction: close. 
The main ideas are:
1. A client notifies the datanodes in the pipeline to finalize a replica and 
then shuts down the pipeline by sending a special end-of-block message.
2. The end-of-block message does not get sent until the client finishes sending 
all packets belong to the block and have received all their acks.
3. If close fails, the client recovers the failures by setting up a new 
pipeline with the remaining datanodes and a newer generation stamp.
4. I plan to use an empty packet as the end-of-block message.
