file size is fluctuating although file is closed
------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HDFS-743
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-743
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: name-node
            Reporter: dhruba borthakur
            Assignee: dhruba borthakur
            Priority: Blocker


I am seeing that the length of a file sometimes becomes zero after a namenode 
restart. These files have only one block. All the three replicas of that block 
on the datanode(s) has non-zero size. Increasing the replication factor of the 
file causes the file to show its correct non-zero length.

I am marking this as a blocker because it is still to be investigated which 
releases it affects. I am seeing this on 0.17.x very frequently. I might have 
seen this on 0.20.x but do not have a reproducible case yet.
