> HDFS does not replicate the last block of the file that is being currently 
> written to by an application. Every datanode death in the write pipeline 
> decreases the reliability of the last block of the currently-being-written 
> block. This situation can be improved if the application can be notified of a 
> datanode death in the write pipeline. Then, the application can decide what 
> is the right course of action to be taken on this event.
> In our use-case, the application can close the file on the first datanode 
> death, and start writing to a newly created file. This ensures that the 
> reliability guarantee of a block is close to 3 at all time.
> One idea is to make DFSOutoutStream. write() throw an exception if the number 
> of datanodes in the write pipeline fall below minimum.replication.factor that 
> is set on the client (this is backward compatible).
