Ashvin Agrawal updated HDFS-14889:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
Provided storage (HDFS-9806) allows data on external storage systems to 
seamlessly appear as files on HDFS. However, in the implementation today, there 
is no easy way to distinguish a {{Block}} belonging to an external provided 
storage volume from a block belonging to the local cluster. This task 
simplifies this. 

{{isProvided}} block will be useful in hybrid scenarios when the local cluster 
will host both kinds of blocks. For e.g. policy for management of 
replica/cached-blocks will be different from that of regular blocks. As of this 
task {{isProvided}} is not invoked anywhere.
