Image loader should make sure to read every byte in image file

                 Key: HDFS-1524
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1524
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: name-node
    Affects Versions: 0.22.0, 0.23.0
            Reporter: Hairong Kuang
            Assignee: Hairong Kuang
             Fix For: 0.22.0, 0.23.0


When I work on HDFS-1070, I come across a very strange bug. Occasionally when 
loading a compressed image, NameNode throws an exception complaining that the 
image file is corrupt. However, the result returned by the md5sum utility 
matches the checksum value stored in the VERSION file. 

It turns out the image loader leaves 4 bytes unread after loading all the real 
data of an image. Those unread bytes may be some compression-related meta-info. 
The image loader should make sure to read to the end of file in order for an 
correct checksum.
