Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-3689:
---------------------------------------
[~jingzhao], can you please add a release note on how one uses this feature.
Also do you think we need to have fsck output to say what files have variable
length block? Finally, should we now change the concat implementation to be
more flexible based on this feature?
