> Currently there is no response sent from target Datanode to Balancer for the
> replaceBlock() calls.
> Since the Block movement for balancing is throttled, complete block movement
> will take time and this could result in timeout at Balancer, which will be
> trying to read the status message.
>
> To Avoid this during replaceBlock() call in in progress Datanode can send
> IN_PROGRESS status messages to Balancer to avoid timeouts and treat
> BlockMovement as failed.
