--------------------------------------
bq. Where?
In [this
comment|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4258?focusedCommentId=13537283&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13537283]
where Brandon says the following:
bq. add new addBlock interface which takes the id as an additional field. The
id is checked by checkLease(). *If it doesn't match current id in the found
inode, NN fails the request.*
bq. Is the concern you are expressing that InodeID introduction is not a part
of this jira?
The concern that I have is that introducing INode IDs doesn't seem like it's
strictly required to address the bug described by this JIRA, and seems like a
much heavier-weight solution than possible alternatives, for example something
like what Todd proposed.
As I said previously, I can imagine several motivations for wanting unique
INode IDs, but I don't think the bug described by this JIRA is necessarily one
of them.

> When a being written file or it's ancestor directories is renamed, the path
> in the file lease is also renamed. Then the writer of the file usually will
> fail since the file path in the writer is not updated.
> Moreover, I think there is a bug as follow:
> # Client writes 0's to F_0="/foo/file" and writes 1's to F_1="/bar/file" at
> the same time.
> # Rename /bar to /baz
> # Rename /foo to /bar
> Then, writing to F_0 will fail since /foo/file does not exist anymore but
> writing to F_1 may succeed since /bar/file exits as a different file. In
> such case, the content of /bar/file could be partly 0's and partly 1's.
