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

what happens if the recovering process wins, opens the file for append, and 
immediately closes it. Are we guaranteed then that another flush() call from 
the client at that point would definitely fail, or can it transparently regain 
the lease from the now-closed file?

{quote}

the original writer can transparently regain the lease.

If you want the original writer to not regain the lease, then the recovering 
process should keep the file opened for write and not close it.

> Lease recovery doesn't reassign lease when triggered by append()

> If a soft lease has expired and another writer calls append(), it triggers 
> lease recovery but doesn't reassign the lease to a new owner. Therefore, the 
> old writer can continue to allocate new blocks, try to steal back the lease, 
> etc. This is for the testRecoveryOnBlockBoundary case of HDFS-1139
