This is how that message is constructed:
throw new IOException("File " + src + " could only be replicated to " +
targets.length + " nodes, instead of "
minReplication);
minReplication is the number of replicas needed in order to accept a
write, by default 1. In this case, it wasn't able to place the block
anywhere for an unknown reason.

Corrupted reads? This is a loaded term, are you really saying that the
region server read corrupted data from HDFS?
J-D
