>             Project: Hadoop
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: dfs
>    Affects Versions: 0.7.2

> for a particular file [alas, the file no longer exists -- I had to progress]  
>     $dfs -cp foo bar        
> and
>     $dfs -get foo local
> failed on a checksum error.  The dfs browser's download function retrieved the file, so either that function doesn't check, or more likely the download function got a different copy.
> When a checksum fails on one copy of a file that is redundantly stored, I would prefer that dfs try a different copy, mark the bad one as not existing [which should induce a fresh copy being made from one of the good copies eventually], and make the call continue to work and deliver bytes.
> Ideally, if all copies have checksum errors but it's possible to piece together a good copy I would like that to be done.
