--------------------------------------

I've confirmed this issue exists in the 0.20-security branch, and I bet it exists in 0.23 as well but haven't checked yet.

> In certain circumstances the DFSClient may detect a block as being bad without reporting it promptly to the NN.
> If when reading a file a client finds an invalid checksum of a block, it immediately reports that bad block to the NN. If when serving up a block a DN finds a truncated block, it reports this to the client, but the client merely adds that DN to the list of dead nodes and moves on to trying another DN, without reporting this to the NN.
