So my understanding is that this log file was opened at 7:29 and then
something happened at 10:12:55 as something triggered the recovery on
that block. It triggered a recovery of the block with the new name
being blk_1213779416283711358_54249

It seems that that process was started by the DFS Client at 10:12:55
but the RS log starts at 10:14. Would it be possible to see what was
before that? Also it would be nice to have a view for those blocks on
all the datanodes.

It would be nice to do this debugging on IRC is it can require a lot
of back and forth.
