-------------------------------------------
> ... => 2) Asks NN for new GS => 3) Gets new GS from NN => ...
What is the difference between #2 and #3? Is it just a single RPC?
> ... For each new striped block group we can reserve NUM_PARITY_BLOCKS GS's.
> ...
Do you mean that client may update GS without letting NN knowing it?
> ... Then steps 1~3 in the above sequence can be saved. ...
How to save step #1?
> Erasure coding: preallocate multiple generation stamps and serialize updates
> from data streamers

> A non-striped DataStreamer goes through the following steps in error handling:
> {code}
> 1) Finds error => 2) Asks NN for new GS => 3) Gets new GS from NN => 4)
> Applies new GS to DN (createBlockOutputStream) => 5) Ack from DN => 6)
> Updates block on NN
> {code}
> To simplify the above we can preallocate GS when NN creates a new striped
> block group ({{FSN#createNewBlock}}). For each new striped block group we can
> reserve {{NUM_PARITY_BLOCKS}} GS's. Then steps 1~3 in the above sequence can
> be saved. If more than {{NUM_PARITY_BLOCKS}} errors have happened we
> shouldn't try to further recover anyway.
