Description

This makes unit tests fail in unexpected ways.
In DFSTestUtil.java :

  /** wait for the file's replication to be done */
  static void waitReplication(FileSystem fs, Path fileName, short replFactor)  throws IOException {
    boolean good;
    do {
      good = true;
      //... 'good' is never accessed 
    } while(!good);
  }
