----------------------------------------------
Hi Kihwal, thank you for the answers. Let's disallow append with different
checksum types and remove the conf property for the moment. We could add it if
we find it useful later.
concat() is tricky. It seems that we have to allow concat with different
checksum types since checksum is invisible to users. Fortunately, this should
not a common case: concat is usually used with distcp and all blocks should be
created with the same checksum type.
> Allow DFSClient to find out and use the CRC type being used for a file.

> In my prototype, DataTransferProtocol was extended to include the checksum
> type in the blockChecksum() response. DFSClient uses it in getFileChecksum()
> to determin the checksum type. Also append() can be configured to use the
> existing checksum type instead of the configured one.
