Lei (Eddy) Xu updated HDFS-3702:
--------------------------------
    Attachment: HDFS-3702.010.patch

Updated the patch to:

* Move {{AddBlockFlag}} to {{o.a.h.hdfs}}
* Add one end-to-end test to use {{CreateFlag.NO_LOCAL_WRITE}} directly.


> 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.
