>             Project: Hadoop HDFS
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: datanode
>    Affects Versions: 0.20.203.0, 0.24.0
>            Reporter: Todd Lipcon

> In the 0.20.203 codebase, block reports are not synchronized in any way against mutations to the actual file structure on disk. If a file is removed from a directory while the block report is scanning that directory, it will be mistakenly reported as existing with a length of 0, since File.length() on a non-existent file returns 0.
> This results in an error being logged on the DataNode when the NN sends it a second block deletion request for the already-deleted block. I believe it to be harmless, but the error message can concern users.
> This was fixed in the 0.20 code line in HDFS-2379.  This jira remains open to track the port to 0.24.
