I believe that the reading failure was caused by the slow datanode. I do not 
think that DFSClient could be blocked for 1 and half an hour. From the attached 
log, I do see that the same split file was read again and again. Does JobTrack 
reinsert a failed job back into the jobInitQueue?

> On a large cluster, we've observed that DFS client was blocked on reading a 
> block of a file for almost 1 and half hours. The file was being read by the 
> JobTracker of the cluster, and was a split file of a job. On the NameNode 
> logs, we observed that the block had a message as follows:
> Inconsistent size for block blk_2044238107768440002_840946 reported from 
> <ip>:<port> current size is 195072 reported size is 1318567
