Dinesh S. Atreya commented on HDFS-9607:
----------------------------------------
Agreed regarding retaining offset and length.
Note: In the initial checks, the length bigger than the HDFS block size may not
be allowed for updates (and may forcibly fail).
In such cases, one recommendation may just be to update a pointer
(location/position) to the new insert/append.
