This feels like a special case of the problems mentioned in HDFS-366 and
friends.

This feels like a special case of the problems mentioned in HDFS-366 .
> Consistency of different replicas of the same block is not checked.

> Key: HDFS-125
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-125
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Konstantin Shvachko
>
> HDFS currently detects corrupted replicas by verifying that its contents
> matches the checksum stored in the block meta-file. This is done
> independently for each replica of the block on the data-node it belongs to.
> But we do not check that the replicas are identical across data-nodes as long
> as they have the same size.
> This is not common but can happen as a result of a software bug or an
> operator mismanagement. And in this case different clients will read
> different data from the same file.
