Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze commented on HDFS-7661:
-------------------------------------------

> My proposal is we might could define a mark flag like GS for a stripe ...

The data length could be used as the flag.  Parities correspond to data length. 
 We may store the data length along with a party for being written blocks.

> ... the visible length stored in NN ...

For a being file, the visible length is not stored in NN unless hsync is called 
with UPDATE_LENGTH.

> ... Could you give clue key points which you think I should pay more 
> attention to?

You may start with DFSStripedInputStream.StripeReader.readStripe().  I think we 
don't need to change NN for implementing hflush/hsync.  We may need to change 
DN to support over writing parities.

> Support read when a EC file is being written
