---------------------------------------------
The "you" in that sentence was targetted at you, [~shv]. I realized that
[~redvine] wrote the patch, but I spoke imprecisely. Sorry for the confusion.
bq. This is her first encounter with HDFS community. Let's try to make it
pleasant enough so that she wished to come back and work with us more.
To be honest, I don't think this is a very good newbie JIRA. It is clearly a
very controversial issue, and it's also a very difficult piece of code with a
lot of subtlety. Since you clearly have strong opinions about this JIRA, I
believe it would be more appropriate for you to post patches implementing your
ideas yourself. But that is up to you, of course.

> Affects Versions: 2.6.1
> Reporter: Konstantin Shvachko

> When NameNode is busy a DataNode can timeout sending a block report. Then it
> sends the block report again. Then NameNode while process these two reports
> at the same time can interleave processing storages from different reports.
> This screws up the blockReportId field, which makes NameNode think that some
> storages are zombie. Replicas from zombie storages are immediately removed,
> causing missing blocks.
