Review request for hadoop-hdfs, Dhruba Borthakur and Hairong Kuang.


Changes
-------

Addressed the comments.


Summary
-------

This patch introduces explicit ACKs sent form datanodes to the namenode in order to minimize the difference between NN blocks info and DN state.
This will allow for sending the full block reports less frequently, which in turn will minimize the overhead of processing them, and blocking the namenode for extended time.


This addresses bug HDFS-395.

> I have a cluster that has 1800 datanodes. Each datanode has around 50000 blocks and sends a block report to the namenode once every hour. This means that the namenode processes a block report once every 2 seconds. Each block report contains all blocks that the datanode currently hosts. This makes the namenode compare a huge number of blocks that practically remains the same between two consecutive reports. This wastes CPU on the namenode.
> The problem becomes worse when the number of datanodes increases.
> One proposal is to make succeeding block reports (after a successful send of a full block report) be incremental. This will make the namenode process only those blocks that were added/deleted in the last period.
