-----------------------------------
I ran unit tests, only got known failures
> Incorrect handling of interrupts in waitForAckedSeqno can cause deadlock

> In HDFS-895 the handling of interrupts during hflush/close was changed to
> preserve interrupt status. This ends up creating an infinite loop in
> waitForAckedSeqno if the waiting thread gets interrupted, since Object.wait()
> has a strange semantic that it doesn't give up the lock even momentarily if
> the thread is already in interrupted state at the beginning of the call.
> We should decide what the correct behavior is here - if a thread is
> interrupted while it's calling hflush() or close() should we (a) throw an
> exception, perhaps InterruptedIOException (b) ignore, or (c) wait for the
> flush to finish but preserve interrupt status on exit?
