> In one test case, NameNode allocated a block and then was killed before the
> client got the addBlock response. After NameNode restarted, it couldn't get
> out of SafeMode waiting for the block which was never created. In trunk,
> NameNode can get out of SafeMode since it only counts complete blocks.
> However branch-1 doesn't have the clear notion of under-constructioned-block
> in Namenode.
> JIRA HDFS-4212 is to track the never-created-block issue and this JIRA is to
> fix NameNode in branch-1 so it can get out of SafeMode when
> never-created-block exists.
> The proposed idea is for SafeMode not to count the zero-sized last block in
> an under-construction file as part of total blcok count.
