cuiyang updated HDFS-8459:
--------------------------
    Description: 
  Why Namenode doesn't judge the status of replicas when convert block status 
from commited to complete?
  When client finished write block and call namenode.complete(), namenode do 
things as follow(in BlockManager::commitOrCompleteLastBlock):
     final boolean b = commitBlock((BlockInfoUnderConstruction)lastBlock, 
commitBlock);
    if(countNodes(lastBlock).liveReplicas() >= minReplication)
      completeBlock(bc, bc.numBlocks()-1, false);
    return b;
 
  But it doesn't care how many replicas which status is finalized! Because if 
there is no one replica which status is not finalized, the block should not 
convert to complete status!

  According to the appendDesign3.pdf 
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12445209/appendDesign3.pdf):
   Complete:
A 
complete 
block 
is 
a 
block 
whose 
length
 and
GS
are

finalized
and

NameNode
has
seen
a
GS/len
matched
finalized
replica
of
the
block.
