Thanks that is useful. I am still trying deduce whether you are implying there
will be a corruption or a valid replica.
As I see it, in this case there will be one replica with 'x+5' bytes with the
new gen-stamp. But given that checksum does not match (no sync to native
filesystem is done, all three datanodes are killed while they are in wrte()
system call), looks like we end up with corruption.. right? I am missing
something?

> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: dfs
> Affects Versions: 0.18.0
> Reporter: Raghu Angadi
> Assignee: dhruba borthakur
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.19.1

> Before 0.18, when Datanode restarts, it deletes files under data-dir/tmp
> directory since these files are not valid anymore. But in 0.18 it moves these
> files to normal directory incorrectly making them valid blocks. One of the
> following would work :
> - remove the tmp files during upgrade, or
> - if the files under /tmp are in pre-18 format (i.e. no generation), delete
> them.
> Currently effect of this bug is that, these files end up failing block
> verification and eventually get deleted. But cause incorrect over-replication
> at the namenode before that.
> Also it looks like our policy regd treating files under tmp needs to be
> defined better. Right now there are probably one or two more bugs with it.
> Dhruba, please file them if you rememeber.
