> This comes from a hdfs bug, fixed in some hdfs versions. I haven't found the hdfs jira for this.
> Context: HBase Write Ahead Log features. This is using hdfs append. If the node crashes, the file that was written is read by other processes to replay the action.
> - So we have in hdfs one (dead) process writing with another process reading.
> - But, despite the call to syncFs, we don't always see the data when we have a dead node. It seems to be because the call in DFSClient#updateBlockInfo ignores the ipc errors and set the length to 0.
> - So we may miss all the writes to the last block if we try to connect to the dead DN.
> hdfs 1.0.3, branch-1 or branch-1-win: we have the issue
> http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/hadoop/common/branches/branch-1/src/hdfs/org/apache/hadoop/hdfs/DFSClient.java?revision=1359853&view=markup
> hdfs branch-2 or trunk: we should not have the issue (but not tested)
> http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/hadoop/common/branches/branch-2/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hdfs/DFSInputStream.java?view=markup
> The attached test will fail ~50 of the time.
