Brandon Li updated HDFS-5252:
-----------------------------

    Description: 
When the client asks for a stable write but the prerequisite writes are not 
transferred to NFS gateway, the stableness can't be honored. NFS gateway has to 
treat the write as unstable write and set the flag to UNSTABLE in the write 
response.

One bug was found during test with Ubuntu client when copying one 1KB file. For 
small files like 1KB file, Ubuntu client does one stable write (with FILE_SYNC 
flag). However, NFS gateway missed one place where(OpenFileCtx#doSingleWrite) 
it sends response with the flag NOT updated to UNSTABLE.

With this bug, the client thinks the write is on disk and thus doesn't send 
COMMIT anymore. The following test tries to read the data back and of course 
fails to do so since the data was not synced.
