Andrew Wang commented on HDFS-11465:
------------------------------------

Hi [~yuanbo], thanks for picking this up. Upon further thought, I don't think 
we should bother with this rename. Right now, the javadoc and usages equate 
striped/EC and contiguous/replicated. I think untangling this will be a major 
challenge for when we implement contiguous EC, so we can leave this for then. 
At the least, BlockType correctly contrasts striped with contiguous, which are 
on the same axis.

> Rename BlockType#CONTIGUOUS to BlockType#REPLICATED

> HDFS-10759 introduced the a BlockType enum to INodeFile, with possible values 
> CONTIGUOUS or STRIPED.
> Since HDFS-8030 wants to implement "contiguous EC", CONTIGUOUS isn't an 
> appropriate name. I propose we rename CONTIGUOUS to REPLICATED for clarity.
