> 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.
