Jing Zhao commented on HDFS-8287:
---------------------------------

Thanks for working on this, Kai! I agree with Zhe's comments. Besides of that, 
some further thoughts:
# Maybe it's better to wrap the two CellBuffers and logic of switching between 
them into a single class named DoubleCellBuffer. An example in our current code 
base is {{EditsDoubleBuffer}}.
# Instead of having a specific daemon thread ParityGenerator, maybe we can use 
a {{CompletionService}} to simplify the code. Also in this way it's easier to 
write code to wait for the writing of the parity blocks to finish.

> DFSStripedOutputStream.writeChunk should not wait for writing parity

> When a stripping cell is full, writeChunk computes and generates parity 
> packets.  It sequentially calls waitAndQueuePacket so that user client cannot 
> continue to write data until it finishes.
> We should allow user client to continue writing instead but not blocking it 
> when writing parity.
