-----------------------------------------------------------
If the delivery of the OOB ack was not successful due to a network or hardware
issue and there was only one replica in the pipeline, the write will fail.
This is no worse than the current behavior. Data loss is typically referred to
situations where data was successfully written, but a part or all of it becomes
unavailable permanently. Here, it is different; the write simply fails.
In short, OOB acking is used for the smoother upgrade process, but (1) this
feature won't block shutdown indefinitely and (2) if an OOB ack is not
delivered, things will fall back to the existing non-upgrade behavior.

> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: datanode, ha, hdfs-client, namenode

> After HDFS-5585 and HDFS-5583, clients and datanodes can coordinate
> shutdown-restart in order to minimize failures or locality loss.
> In this jira, HDFS client is made aware of the restart OOB ack and perform
> special write pipeline recovery. Datanode is also modified to load marked RBW
> replicas as RBW instead of RWR as long as the restart did not take long.
> For clients, it considers doing this kind of recovery only when there is only
> one node left in the pipeline or the restarting node is a local datanode.
> For both clients and datanodes, the timeout or expiration is configurable,
> meaning this feature can be turned off by setting timeout variables to 0.
