[HDFS-4605] Implement block-size independent file checksum

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: 3.0.0-alpha1
• Component/s: datanode, hdfs-client

Description

The value of current getFileChecksum() is block-size dependent. Since FileChecksum is mainly intended for comparing content of files, removing this dependency will make FileCheckum in HDFS relevant in more use cases.
