Konstantin Boudnik commented on HADOOP-6196:
--------------------------------------------

A few comments:
- new unit test is developed under JUnit3 conventions (e,g, it extends 
TestCase, imports junit.framework, etc.) I'd suggest to make it JUnit4 
compliant: remove TestCase extention, add {...@test}} annotation to the test 
method, use {{org.junit.*}} packages instead
- it seems that the unit test doesn't cover all the cases described in a 
comment above.
bq. Strangely, it works sometimes and breaks other times. When it works, it'll 
tend to work for a few times in a row until a few seconds pass and then it 
starts breaking again (EOFException at readInt)
It seems to be more sensible to do a number of {{seek(0); next()}} followed by 
a random pauses and {{seek()}} calls to locations differ from 0 
- {{SequenceFile.java}} has some white-space only modifications, e.g.
{noformat}
-      if (!blockCompressed) {
+      if (!blockCompressed) {        
{noformat}


> sync(0); next() breaks SequenceFile

> Currently, the end of the SequenceFile header is a sync block that isn't 
> prefaced with SYNC_ESCAPE.  This means that sync(0) followed by next() fails. 
>  Patch w/ test attached, bumps VERSION from 6 to 7.
