> for more details.
> Currently, only file level leases (locks) are supported. This JIRA is for
> expanding the capability to allow block level leases (locks).
> Block level leases presume that Block Manager as a Service (reference JIRA
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5477) solution is available.
> File level leases are default. When block level leases are requested, they
> will supersede file level leases and lease (lock) capability will advance to
> block levels. In the absence of block level leases, leases degenerate into
> file level leases.
> If we correspond to DBMS paradigm, file level leases amount to table locks;
> while row level locks are not possible with HDFS, the closest we can get to
> is block level leases (locks).
