+1 v2.

> We encountered a situation where we had an esseitially read only table and
> attempted to do a clean HDFS DN decommission. DN's cannot decomission if
> there are open blocks being written to currently on it. Because the hbase
> Hlog file was open, had some data (hlog header), the DN could not
> decommission itself. Since no new data is ever written, the existing
> periodic check is not activated.
> After discussing with [~atm], it seems that although an hdfs semantics change
> would be ideal (e.g. hbase doesn't have to be aware of hdfs decommission and
> the client would roll over) this would take much more effort than having
> hbase periodically force a log roll. This would enable the hdfs dn con
> complete.
