Kihwal Lee commented on HDFS-3875:
----------------------------------
Also, checksumError is set true before returning, so receiveBlock() will
actually end up throwing an exception. I experimented with receiveBlock()
throwing an exception and also simply returning and they all worked fine. I
thought you were refering to this.
To answer your question better, the occurance checksum error is already logged
and the exception thrown in receiveBlock() will clearly show what happened. We
could catch IOexception in receiveBlock(), check checksumError and rethrow.

> We saw this issue with one block in a large test cluster. The client is
> storing the data with replication level 2, and we saw the following:
> - the second node in the pipeline detects a checksum error on the data it
> received from the first node. We don't know if the client sent a bad
> checksum, or if it got corrupted between node 1 and node 2 in the pipeline.
> - this caused the second node to get kicked out of the pipeline, since it
> threw an exception. The pipeline started up again with only one replica (the
> first node in the pipeline)
> - this replica was later determined to be corrupt by the block scanner, and
> unrecoverable since it is the only replica
