---------------------------------------

> Dfsclient sends out a heartbeat after the pipeline becomes idle for half of 
> read timeout. A heartbeat is a special packet with seq# of -1.

+1.

> Pipeline close hangs if one of the datanode is not responsive.

> In the new pipeline design, pipeline close is implemented by sending an 
> additional empty packet.  If one of the datanode does not response to this 
> empty packet, the pipeline hangs.  It seems that there is no timeout.
