Hairong Kuang commented on HDFS-1330:
-------------------------------------

There are two kinds of communications to a DataNode. Most of them directly uses 
socket for things like replica reading or writing. A few of them use RPC.

HDFS-1325 is a problem with file read/write, while this jira is for a problem 
with RPC communications. We see that a problematic DataNode causes a client 
stuck in waiting for response forever. Having a timeout should help with this 
problem.
