Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-1259:
---------------------------------------

Before HADOOP-1134, there is no need for the restriction. After HADOOP-1134, 
the fix is obviously to do as Doug suggested and re-sync the crc chunks at the 
block boundaries. Since current DFS clusters don't enforce this constraint, you 
NEED to handle it anyways. Therefore, it is really pointless to force a new 
constraint on your user that doesn't help your implementation.

> DFS should enforce block size is a multiple of io.bytes.per.checksum

> DFSClient currently does not enforce that dfs.block.size is a multiple 
> io.bytes.per.checksum. This not really problem currently but can future 
> upgrades like HADOOP-1134 (see one of the comments 
> http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1134#action_12488542 there). 
> I propose DFSClient should fail loudly and ask the user politely to change 
> the config to meet this conidtion. Of course we will change the documentation 
> for dfs.block.size also.
