> When I test the patch to HADOOP-1345 on a two node dfs cluster, I see that dfs correctly delete the corrupted replica and successfully retry reading from the other correct replica, but the block does not get replicated. The block remains with only 1 replica until the next block report comes in.
> In my testcase, since the dfs cluster has only 2 datanodes, the target of replication is the same as the target of block invalidation.  After poking the logs, I found out that the namenode sent the replication request before the block invalidation request. 
> This is because the namenode does not invalidate a block well. In FSNamesystem.invalidateBlock, it first puts the invalidate request in a queue and then immediately removes the replica from its state, which triggers the choosing a target for the block. When requests are sent back to the target datanode as a reply to a heartbeat message, the replication requests have higher priority than the invalidate requests.
> This problem could be solved if a namenode removes an invalidated replica from its state only after the invalidate request is sent to the datanode.
