------------------------------------------

Hi Raghu: really appreciate it if you remember why 
BlocksManager.getMissingBlocksCount() does not do any locking?

> A whole bunch of datanodes became dead because of some network problems 
> resulting in  heartbeat timeouts although datanodes were fine.
> Many processes started to fail because of the corrupted filesystem.
> In order to catch and diagnose such problems faster the namenode should 
> detect the corruption automatically and provide a way to alert operations. At 
> the minimum it should show the fact of corruption on the GUI.
