> In the current design, if there is a datanode/network failure in the write
> pipeline, DFSClient will try to remove the failed datanode from the pipeline
> and then continue writing with the remaining datanodes. As a result, the
> number of datanodes in the pipeline is decreased. Unfortunately, it is
> possible that DFSClient may incorrectly remove a healthy datanode but leave
> the failed datanode in the pipeline because failure detection may be
> inaccurate under erroneous conditions.
> We propose to have a new mechanism for adding new datanodes to the pipeline
> in order to provide a stronger data guarantee.
