--------------------------------------------
bq. Do you have a list of ones you know about? If not I can start pulling on
that thread tomorrow.
Sorry, I just took a preliminary look, didn't have time to go in depth.
The state machine errors are pretty clear in the test. You may need to wait a
while for them to appear since surefire does a lot of buffering.

> 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.
