Plamen Jeliazkov updated HDFS-4867:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: HDFS-4867.trunk.patch

Attaching patch with unit test to print orphaned blocks from metaSave. This 
will fix the immediate issue but I struggle to understand WHY this is happening 
in the first place...

I am able to simulate orphaned blocks in the unit test by deleting the created 
file immediately before metaSave is called.
                
> metaSave NPEs when there are invalid blocks in repl queue.

> Since metaSave cannot get the inode holding a orphaned/invalid block, it NPEs 
> and stops generating further report. Normally ReplicationMonitor removes them 
> quickly, but if the queue is huge, it takes very long time. Also in safe 
> mode, they stay.
