[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-4556) Block went missing

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4556?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12644431#action_12644431 ] 

Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-4556:
--------------------------------------

The "main cause" (among others) seems to be because of incomplete clean up when a datanode is marked dead. 

Specifically, the pending requests for block deletions don't seem to be removed when  a node is marked dead.. These deletion requests might be sent after the datanode registers back again... but the state might be very different that time.
