Wang Xu commented on HDFS-839:
------------------------------

todd, dhruba: as our practice, the duration of global lock does impact the 
performation, while it is insignificant unless there are many concurrent pure 
namespace op such as touchz or mkdir.

and I think we assign different sync priority for consistency requirement. 
block info might be sync asynchronized.

> The NameNode should forward block reports to BackupNode

> The BackupNode (via HADOOP-4539) receives a stream of transactions from 
> NameNode. However, the BackupNode does not have block locations of blocks. It 
> would be nice if the NameNode can forward all block reports (that it receives 
> from DataNodes) to the BackupNode.
