---------------------------------------
Colin, let me know if you are free to work on branch-1 version of this patch.
If you are busy, I can see if someone else can pick it up.

> It is good to avoid running out of space in the middle of writing a batch of
> edits, because when it happens, we often get partial edits at the end of the
> log.
> Edit log preallocation can solve this problem (see HADOOP-2330 for a full
> description of edit log preallocation).
> The current pre-allocation code was introduced for performance reasons, not
> for preventing partial edits. As a consequence, we sometimes do a write
> without using pre-allocation. We should change the pre-allocation code so
> that it always preallocates at least enough space before writing out the
> edits.
