Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-2791:
-----------------------------------
bq. I am coming to the conclusion that when a NN asks a DN to delete a
replica, in addition to the bid and generation stamp, it should also include
the state (RBW etc) known to the NN. The block is deleted only if the it is in
that state.
Good idea - I like this safeguard. But given that there are +1s on this patch
here, I dont think the above safeguard is mutually exclusive either. So let's
do both for extra safety.
Assuming this patch still applies, I'll commit it momentarily.

> 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.
