Hairong Kuang commented on HDFS-592:
------------------------------------

As I said, the method is not used only for pipeline recovery, it is also used 
for setting up the initial pipeline for append as well. So pipelineRecovery is 
not an option. It's hard for a method name to reflect the context under which a 
method is called. I don't think any of the client method ever does this. How 
about I putting the context in the java doc?

> Allow client to get a new generation stamp from NameNode
