> Release 2.0 upgrades must handle blocks being written to (bbw) files from 1.0
> release. Problem reported by Brahma Reddy.
> The {{DataNode}} will only have one block pool after upgrading from a 1.x
> release. (This is because in the 1.x releases, there were no block pools--
> or equivalently, everything was in the same block pool). During the upgrade,
> we should hardlink the block files from the {{blocksBeingWritten}} directory
> into the {{rbw}} directory of this block pool. Similarly, on {{-finalize}},
> we should delete the {{blocksBeingWritten}} directory.
