Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-2034:
-----------------------------------
Haven't had a chance to look over the patch in detail yet, but curious: if you
add this test without changing the code itself, does it expose a bug as we
expected?
> reading from currently being written block does not work

> This came up during HDFS-1907. Posting an example that Todd posted in
> HDFS-1907 that brought out this issue.
> {quote}
> Here's an example sequence to describe what I mean:
> 1. open file, write one and a half blocks
> 2. call hflush
> 3. another reader asks for the first byte of the second block
> {quote}
> In this case since offset is greater than the completed block length, the
> math in getBlockRange() of DFSInputStreamer.java will set "length" to
> negative.
