> I have an application that has intelligence to retrieve data from alternate
> locations if HDFS cannot provide this data. This can happen when data in HDFS
> is corrupted or the block is missing. HDFS already throws ChecksumException
> if the block is corrupted and throws a generic IOException if the block is
> missing. I would like HDFS to throw BlockMissingException when a read request
> encounters a block that has no locations associated with it.
