>                 Key: HDFS-2798
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2798
>             Project: Hadoop HDFS
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: data-node
>    Affects Versions: 0.22.0, 0.23.0
>            Reporter: Todd Lipcon
>            Priority: Critical
>
> When a pipeline is setup for append, the block's metadata file is renamed before the block is removed from the datanode block scanner queues. This can cause a race condition where the block scanner incorrectly marks the block as corrupt, since it tries to scan the file corresponding to the old genstamp.
> This causes TestFileAppend2 to time out in extremely rare circumstances - the corrupt replica prevents the writer thread from completing the file.
