> When the client is writing slowly, the client will send a heartbeat to signal
> that the connection is still alive. This case works fine.
> However, when a client is writing fast but some of the datanodes in the
> pipeline are busy, a PacketResponder may get a timeout since no ack is sent
> from the upstream datanode. We suggest that the last datanode in a pipeline
> should send a heartbeat when there is no traffic.
