Hairong Kuang commented on HDFS-724:
------------------------------------
I am quite torn at whether a heartbeat should be
1. a regular empty packet and be handled exactly the same as a regular data
packet; or
2. a special empty packet with a seq# of -1 and be treated differently from a
regular packet. For example, it does not get added to the packet queue at both
client or datanode side.
Solution 1 is much simpler than solution 2. But is there any side effect?
> Pipeline close hangs if one of the datanode is not responsive.

> In the new pipeline design, pipeline close is implemented by sending an
> additional empty packet. If one of the datanode does not response to this
> empty packet, the pipeline hangs. It seems that there is no timeout.
