>
> We have observed that write fails permanently if the first packet doesn't go
> through properly and pipeline recovery happens. If the packet header is sent
> out, but the data portion of the packet does not reach one or more datanodes
> in time, the pipeline recovery will be done against the 0-byte partial block.
>
> If additional datanodes are added, the block is transferred to the new nodes.
> After the transfer, each node will have a meta file containing the header
> and 0-length data block file. The pipeline recovery seems to work correctly
> up to this point, but write fails when actual data packet is resent.
