                 Key: HDFS-1363
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1363
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.21.0
            Reporter: Konstantin Shvachko
             Fix For: 0.21.1


{{FSNamesystem.startFileInternal}} should convert the last block of the file 
opened for append to an under-construction block and return it. This will let 
remove the second synchronized section in {{FSNamesystem.appendFile()}} and 
avoid redundant computations and potential inconsistencies as stated in 
HDFS-1152.
