Description
In one test case, NameNode allocated a block and then was killed before the client got the addBlock response. After NameNode restarted, it couldn't get out of SafeMode waiting for the block which was never created. In trunk, NameNode can get out of SafeMode since it only counts complete blocks. However branch-1 doesn't have the clear notion of under-constructioned-block in Namenode.
JIRA HDFS-4212 is to track the never-created-block issue and this JIRA is to fix NameNode in branch-1 so it can get out of SafeMode when never-created-block exists.
The proposed idea is for SafeMode not to count the zero-sized last block in an under-construction file as part of total blcok count.
