------------------------------------

Hi [~ehiggs], I think you accidentally attached a patch for HDFS-11026 instead. 
FWIW, TestWebHDFS also does pass for me on trunk.

> The new erasure coding project has updated the protocol for fsimage such that 
> the {{INodeFile}} has a boolean '{{isStriped}}'. I think this is better as an 
> enum or integer since a boolean precludes any future block types. 
> For example:
> {code}
> enum BlockType {
>   CONTIGUOUS = 0,
>   STRIPED = 1,
> }
> {code}
> We can also make this more robust to future changes where there are different 
> block types supported in a staged rollout.  Here, we would use 
> {{UNKNOWN_BLOCK_TYPE}} as the first value since this is the default value. 
> See 
> [here|http://androiddevblog.com/protocol-buffers-pitfall-adding-enum-values/] 
> for more discussion.
> {code}
> enum BlockType {
>   UNKNOWN_BLOCK_TYPE = 0,
>   CONTIGUOUS = 1,
>   STRIPED = 2,
> }
> {code}
> But I'm not convinced this is necessary since there are other enums that 
> don't use this approach.
