> In BlockReceiver.receivePacket, it calls replicaInfo.setBytesOnDisk before
> calling flush(). Therefore, if there is a concurrent reader, it's possible to
> race here - the reader will see the new length while those bytes are still in
> the buffers of BlockReceiver. Thus the client will potentially see checksum
> errors or EOFs. Additionally, the last checksum chunk of the file is made
> accessible to readers even though it is not stable.
