Kihwal Lee updated HDFS-10178:
------------------------------
    Attachment: HDFS-10178.v3.patch

Oops. I reused a fault injection method and caused test failures. I am adding a 
new one.

> Permanent write failures can happen if pipeline recoveries occur for the 
> first packet

> We have observed that write fails permanently if the first packet doesn't go 
> through properly and pipeline recovery happens. If the packet header is sent 
> out, but the data portion of the packet does not reach one or more datanodes 
> in time, the pipeline recovery will be done against the 0-byte partial block. 
>  
> If additional datanodes are added, the block is transferred to the new nodes. 
>  After the transfer, each node will have a meta file containing the header 
> and 0-length data block file. The pipeline recovery seems to work correctly 
> up to this point, but write fails when actual data packet is resent.
