Uma Maheswara Rao G commented on HDFS-3222:
-------------------------------------------

Yes, I think that should solve the problem.

As we are persisting the number bytes for block, we can use block size of that 
partial block. Let me write some tests to replicate this.

{code}
public static void writeCompactBlockArray(
      Block[] blocks, DataOutputStream out) throws IOException {
    WritableUtils.writeVInt(out, blocks.length);
    Block prev = null;
    for (Block b : blocks) {
      long szDelta = b.getNumBytes() -
          (prev != null ? prev.getNumBytes() : 0);
      long gsDelta = b.getGenerationStamp() -
          (prev != null ? prev.getGenerationStamp() : 0);
      out.writeLong(b.getBlockId()); // blockid is random
      WritableUtils.writeVLong(out, szDelta);
      WritableUtils.writeVLong(out, gsDelta);
      prev = b;
    }
{code}


There are 2 cases here, 

1) found the loations, but not able to connect to any of them. then 
replicaNotFoundCount  will be decrented on each trail. and if 
replicaNotFoundCount == 0, then it returns 0.
2) if there no loactions for that block. Then obviously replicaNotFoundCount 
will be 0 and returns length as 0.


I think for both cases we can go for this persisted blockSize.

> I have seen one situation with Hbase cluster.
> Scenario is as follows:
> 1)1.5 blocks has been written and synced.
> 2)Suddenly cluster has been restarted.
> Reader opened the file and trying to get the length., By this time partial 
> block contained DNs are not reported to NN. So, locations for this partial 
> block would be 0. In this case, DFSInputStream assumes that, 1 block size as 
> final size.
> But reader also assuming that, 1 block size is the final length and setting 
> his end marker. Finally reader ending up reading only partial data. Due to 
> this, HMaster could not replay the complete edits. 
> Actually this happend with 20 version. Looking at the code, same should 
> present in trunk as well.

>     // we require all 3 because some other exception could have happened
>     // on a DN that has it.  we want to report that error
