Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-2791:
-----------------------------------
The downside of this other idea is that we might see corrupt blocks mentioned
frequently in the log and transiently in the web UI if this happens much in
practice. So, unless there's something specifically wrong with the current
patch, I think it's the preferable solution.
> If block report races with closing of file, replica is incorrectly marked

> The following sequence of events results in a replica mistakenly marked
> corrupt:
> 1. Pipeline is open with 2 replicas
> 2. DN1 generates a block report but is slow in sending to the NN (eg some
> flaky network). It gets "stuck" right before the block report RPC.
> 3. Client closes the file.
> 4. DN2 is fast and sends blockReceived to the NN. NN marks the block as
> COMPLETE
> 5. DN1's block report proceeds, and includes the block in an RBW state.
> 6. (x) NN incorrectly marks the replica as corrupt, since it is an RBW
> replica on a COMPLETE block.
