Wei-Chiu Chuang commented on HDFS-10512:
----------------------------------------

Hi [~linyiqun] much appreciate your patch. The patch itself looks good to me.

However, I have been hesitate to give my non-binding +1, because when this 
method is being called, a block is corrupt. After this patch, VolumeScanner 
will not terminate prematurely, which is good, but it still won't tell NameNode 
to mark this replica corrupt. And that's still a really bad thing to have.

Any comments? [~xyao] or other watchers?
Do you think this patch should go in despite we do not know the root cause of 
NPE?

This is a really bad bug, which causes pipeline to abort, because it will never 
transmit correct block to the downstream pipeline, and pipeline can not 
construct three good replicas.

BTW, I have found the root cause of corrupt replica, and I'll file another jira 
today, but I still think it would be nice to know what causes NPE.
