---------------------------------------

> 4. I plan to use an empty packet as the end-of-block message.

Does it add an additional round-trip message from client to datanode(s) that 
could adversely impact  write performance?

> Support pipeline close and close recovery

> 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.
