Lei (Eddy) Xu commented on HDFS-3702:
-------------------------------------
Test failures are not related. I ran all failure tests locally and all of them
passed.
Hi, [~arpitagarwal], [~szetszwo], [~stack], [~andrew.wang], [~nkeywal] Are you
guys OK with the 009 patch? Please do let me know by EOD. Thanks a lot!
> Add an option for NOT writing the blocks locally if there is a datanode on
> the same box as the client

> This is useful for Write-Ahead-Logs: these files are writen for recovery
> only, and are not read when there are no failures.
> Taking HBase as an example, these files will be read only if the process that
> wrote them (the 'HBase regionserver') dies. This will likely come from a
> hardware failure, hence the corresponding datanode will be dead as well. So
> we're writing 3 replicas, but in reality only 2 of them are really useful.
