>             Project: Hadoop HDFS
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: namenode
>    Affects Versions: 0.20-append
>         Environment: Linux

> Conisder the following scenario. 
> WE have a cluster with one NN and 2 DN.
> We write some file.
> One of the block is written in DN1 but not yet completed in DN2 local disk.
> Now DN1 gets killed and so pipeline recovery happens for the block with the size as in DN2 but the generation stamp gets updated in the NN.
> DN2 also gets killed.
> Now restart NN and DN1
> Now if NN restarts, the block that NN has greater time stamp but the size is lesser in the NN.
> This leads to Null pointer exception in addstoredblock api
