> In the method read(byte buf[ ], int off, int len) of DFSInputStream, when read fails,  it calls "blockSeekTo" to reselect a datanode. However, the failed datanode does not feed back to blockSeekTo. The datanode selection algorithm works as follows:
> * If the machine that the client is running on has a local copy, return the local machine;
> * Otherwise, randomly pick up one location.
> When the failed data node info does not feed back to target reselection, this leads to two flaws:
> 1. When a client fails to read from the local copy, for example, because of the checksum error, the local machine will always be chosen in retries.
> 2. Random selection may still return the same failed node.
