Li Bo commented on HDFS-9040:
-----------------------------

Thanks for the deep discussion here. One point confused me:
bq. Only based on internal block lengths we cannot identify the failure
For a block not belong to the last block group, if its length is smaller than 
BLOCK_SIZE, we can conclude it’s corrupt, otherwise it is a good block, right? 
For the last block group, we can calculate the length of each block via the 
file length, so if a block doesn’t satisfy the required length, then we can 
conclude it’s corrupt. The precondition is, if <=NUM_PARITY streamers fail, we 
ignore their failures and treat all blocks of this block group are written 
correctly.

Each block in a block group only has one replica,  and if we can judge a block 
corrupt or not, it may not necessary to bump the GS.

Any other points that require bumping the GS?
