> When a primary datanode tries to recover a block. It calls
> getBlockMetaDataInfo(..) to obtains information like block length from each
> datanode. Then, it calls updateBlock(..).
> The block length returned in getBlockMetaDataInfo(..) may be obtained from a
> unclosed local block file F. However, in updateBlock(..), it first closes F
> (if F is open) and then gets the length. These two lengths may be different.
> In such case, updateBlock(..) throws an exception.
